FORMAT Board Book LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The acclaimed interactive picture book about the changing seasons. "Like Hervé Tullets Press Here, Mathesons Tap the Magic Tree proves you dont need apps for interactivity," praised the New York Times. This board book edition is perfect for little hands.Every book needs you to turn the pages. But not every book needs you to tap it, shake it, jiggle it, or even blow it a kiss. Innovative and timeless, Tap the Magic Tree asks you to help one lonely tree change with the seasons. Now thats interactive—and magical!It begins with a bare brown tree. But tap that tree, turn the page, and one bright green leaf has sprouted! Tap again—one, two, three, four—and four more leaves have grown on the next page. Pat, clap, wiggle, jiggle, and see blossoms bloom, apples grow, and the leaves swirl away with the autumn breeze. The collage-and-watercolor art evokes the bright simplicity of Lois Ehlert and Eric Carle and the interactive concept will delight fans of Pat the Bunny. Combining a playful spirit and a sense of wonder about nature, Christie Matheson has created a new modern classic that is a winner in every season—and every story time!And dont miss the follow-up, Touch the Brightest Star! Notes An interactive picture book gem following one tree through the best parts of all seasons. Uses actions that even the youngest children can do, to make the tree sprout leaves and blossoms, grow apples and then lose all its leaves. Ages: 4+. Author Biography Christie Matheson is the author of the popular picture books Tap the Magic Tree, Touch the Brightest Star, Plant the Tiny Seed, Bird Watch, and The Hidden Rainbow. A former editor at Boston magazine and columnist for the Boston Globe, she now lives with her husband and three young children in San Francisco. Review "Proves you dont need apps for interactivity. [A] child makes the seasons change by following Mathesons instructions; each turned page shows the result. You can imagine this book wearing out after repeated tapping, swishing, counting and shaking, but you wont ever have to recharge its battery." -- New York Times "The conceit of this clever picture book is that the changing seasons occur as if by magic. Readers are shown a bare brown tree and are implored to, "Tap it once. Turn the page to see." As they do, green leaves appear...Simply a treasure to behold." -- School Library Journal "Matheson invites readers to take an apple tree through a seasonal round using taps and page turns in place of touch-screens... A universal theme, developed in an unusually clean, simple presentation...and, at least, with no need for batteries." -- Kirkus Reviews "Take an apple tree through the seasons by tapping, brushing, shaking, and clapping... Its a good on-the-way-to-bed activity." -- Publishers Weekly "Although simple in presentation with ample white space, the artwork provides a glorious rendition of the four seasons of a tree. No iPad is needed to make this interactive book totally satisfying." -- Booklist Review Quote "The conceit of this clever picture book is that the changing seasons occur as if by magic. Readers are shown a bare brown tree and are implored to, "Tap it once. Turn the page to see." As they do, green leaves appear. . . .Simply a treasure to behold."
