Hervé Tullet
Recognized in the Creative Minds Montessori 2026 Teacher’s Choice list.
Hervé Tullet is one of roughly one hundred authors whose work was selected by the Montessori-certified teachers at Creative Minds Montessori for the 2026 Teacher’s Choice list — 120 books chosen across four reading stages, from first lap-reads to first chapter books. The selected book was chosen for how precisely it meets children at a real developmental moment. This recognition cannot be bought: no author or publisher paid to appear on our lists, and we take no commission on any book sale.
About Hervé Tullet
Hervé Tullet, often called 'the prince of preschool books' in France, makes books that behave like games and art installations — Press Here sold millions on the strength of a single painted dot. He now runs participatory art workshops worldwide.
A former art director in advertising, Tullet began making books when his own children were small and discovered his real medium: the moment a child believes they made the book do something.
