The New York Times bestselling book, a brilliant companion to the mega-selling classic Press Here , is now gently compressed into a toddler-friendly board book. With the graphic intensity of Eric Carle, the whimsy of Leo Lionni, the humor of The Day the Crayons Quit , but a vision all his own, Hervรฉ Tullet invites readers to MIX IT UP in a dazzling adventure of color and tones, filled with magic and wonder. This New York Times bestselling book from the creator of Press Here is now available in an ever-so-toddler-friendly board book edition. Follow the artist's simple instructions, and suddenly colors appear . . . mix . . . splatter . . . and vanish in a vivid world powered only by the reader's imagination. The result is not only enchantment and giggles, but a real and deeper understanding of colors brought by a true master of his craft. Just as in Press Here, Hervรฉ Tullet sets readers on an extraordinary journey of color, motion, and interactivity without ever relying on the bells and whistles of technology, but rather by working within the confines of the flat surface of an unassuming printed page. Hervรฉ once again displays his unique genius and vision, creating a work that is a glorious and richly satisfying companion to Press Here . Mix It Up! is the perfect gift book for parents and their little ones to cherish and read again and again, as well as an invaluable teaching tool for pre-K classrooms. โข AWARD-WINNING BOOK: Mix It Up! was a Junior Library Guild Selection, a Buzzfeed Best Book of the Year, a PBS Parents Best Picture Book, an ACL Distinguished Book, and selected as a Best Book of the Year by Chicago Public Library. โข AN INNOVATIVE, INTERACTIVE WAY TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT COLOR: Each delightful page turn mixes colors and teaches kids basic color theory. โข AN EDUCATIONAL GIFT: The gorgeous graphic visuals make this book an irresistible choice for gift-giving, while the educational concept is an appealing bonus. โข STIMULATES THE IMAGINATION: Celebrates the magic of imagination of three simple colors transforming into an entire rainbow of possibilities.

Whereas the other book appealed across the age range at our setting, this one was definitely of more interest to our younger children, but as they are its intended audience that is not a critisism. The interactive nature of it really appealed to them (and a sneakily slipped in bookmark that enables you to open the book quickly at the 'page after the page they've shut it on to press the colours together' is a definite help in that regard), and it is a really fun way to teach colour mixing. Our older children have really enjoyed reading it to the younger ones too. This and its 'Press Here' companion have been fantastic additions to our little library in that regard: children sharing the pleasure of books, not just by listening to adults read to them, but by engaging and interacting with each other, is a joy to see. When you have a three year old clutching her face in her hands, jumping up and down, shouting 'Awesome' every few pages? Best recommendation ever for me! Review: Buy it now. Just do it, one of the best books for toddlers - My two year old son LOVES these books. Theyโre so simple that I cannot believe nobody has really done this type of interactive book before. Our son gets distracted easily and doesnโt sit still for many books, but this keeps him engaged and gives him a task on each page. This book isnโt our favourite in the series, but even so, itโs still a 5* Would make a great present for any 3 year olds and under.

Brilliantly interactive book for little ones
This book is brilliant and has been a firm favourite in our house for many months! It's wonderfully interactive and teaches children about colours and mixing! Even though we have read this so many times my daughter who is now 3 still can't wait to turn the page! I bought the other book in this series but this one is by far my favourite!

Interactive book
Great interactive book for kids to learn about colours. Although this is a hard board book, I think this is best suited to nursery aged children. We also love press here by the same author

MIX IT UP is a hit!
What a great book! Super for young children as they have to rub, shake, point and place their palm in certain places for 'magic' to happen on the next page! Of course nothing is really happening but all the young children I've used it with have been enthralled and it's become a favourite book. Great for teaching about colour mixing too....no mess! Herve Tullet does it again! Imagination rules....buy this book and have fun! Purchase and delivery all smooth and in good time too.

Also another good one.
We've had "Press Here!" for the longest time, and it was a fun activity for both my kids. Then, we decided to get this one, and is just as good if not better! Color theory and all the fun interactions of the other book.

A unique color book that never disappoints you.
My kid loved playing with this book till the papers are dead. Interesting thing is he has learnt all the colors in two days. Great book for introduction of color mixing to kids. Price seems bit high however, its content and colors are the real value for money.
