Bookroo's summary

Join a group of curious animal friends as they explore a world of mysterious buttons, each with its own surprise. From a singing blue button to a ticklish purple one, every press reveals a new adventure. What happens when they find a button that makes rude sounds or a mysterious white one? And when the day ends, will the sleeping button work its magic? Dive into this interactive journey of colors and shapes, perfect for storytime fun and bedtime calm.

From the publisher

This silly and sweet picture book introduces young children to colors through humor and clever interactive elements. For fans of Hervé Tullet’s Press Here. Here’s a button. I wonder what happens when you press it? Follow a group of animal friends as they discover a collection of mysterious buttons, all of which do different things! From a blue singing button to a purple tickle button, from a rude sound button to a mysterious white button, there’s only one way to find out what they do: press them all! And thankfully, there’s even a sleeping button to lull the animals to sleep after a busy day. A lively introduction to colors and shapes, The Button Book is the perfect interactive book for storytime (and bedtime!).

Fun interactive aspect of pressing buttons, but unnecessary potty humor ruined it for me.
