ReplyDeleteWendy, thanks for hopping over.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for this one. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust read this book - laughed all the way through. Reminded me of Press Here. Is this a new thing? Interactive books? (tongue in cheek, of course)
ReplyDeletePBs are trending down in age and word count. But interactive books are not new.
DeleteI love the title - very funny. Sounds like a fun book to read. I thought of Press Here too when I read about shaking the book.
