There's a hole in my book...

Recently, we received several new books with holes and buttons.   The result is an unusual reading experience that encourages the reader to consider books in a different way.    Press Here, by Herve Tullet, asks the reader to press pictures of colored buttons, with fun "results" with the turn of the page.  Tullet is also responsible for a book with a giant hole cut out of the side, called, unsurprisingly, The Book With a Hole.  It is difficult to see from the picture on the left, but the hole in the book is the man's mouth.  It is larger than arm size.  Of course, when the book is open, the hole spans the center of two pages.  Other new books use holes in fun ways as well - I Spy With My Little Eye by Edward Gibbs and Who's in the Forest by Phillis Gershator.   -Elaine B.
