A single shape (blop!) is used transformed in multiple ways to show basic concepts (such as color, size, number, etc.) and more advanced concepts (such as artwork, imagination, and representation).
A very cute book that takes one shape and encourages children to use it in multiple different ways!

I didn't quite get this book, and yet at the same time, its message seemed to be that you can create art from very simple shapes.

It started well and there are many nice ideas in there, obviously very reminiscent of [a:Hervé Tullet's|339632|Hervé Tullet|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg] other books. It just goes on for too long. The shape of the book is very interesting, and it's bound to catch children's attention. Older kids will probably be more likely to stick with it to the end.

I couldn't wait for it to end. It felt very long and repetitive. Too long for a baby time but too simple for any other storytime.

Okay, let me start by saying that this is a weird little picture book. It is oddly shaped so it will stick out of the shelves and the covers are made out of cardboard without the ends finished. That being said, the actual content of the book is fun and colorful. It is great for the youngest of listeners (there is even a mirror for baby listeners). There are not a lot of words, but it works as a shape book, even if that shape is called a blop. Good for imagination too.

The author of Press Here returns with another simple and charming book. Here the entire book is based around the shape of a “blop” which is something like a four-leafed clover, or a flower, or a butterfly. With just a few words on each page, the youngest readers will discover a world of blops between these covers. There are blops of different sizes, different colors, and they do a variety of things too. Concepts are taught cleverly, such as mixing colors, what appears in a mirror, and opposites.
While there are punch-out pages at the end of the book, this would still make a great pick for libraries to circulate. I was particularly pleased with the mirror page and color mixing pages that add a special twist and fun to the book.
Another great pick from Tullet, this book belongs in library collections and would make a great toddler read. Expect to be drawing and seeing blops afterwards! Appropriate for ages 1-3.
