See This Little Dot - by Jane Yolen (Hardcover)

About the Book

Illustrates the characteristics and possible functions of a dot.

Book Synopsis

When is a dot "not just a blot on a page"? In Jane Yolen's characteristically imaginative, free-verse explanation, the humble dot can take on many functions, from a spot of food to an animal's eye, from a marble to a moon. As Yolen extolls the dot's satisfying shape and innate neatness, illustrator Laëtitia Devernay brings it to life in this read-aloud picture book and sends it bouncing, rolling, and teetering off the edge of the page--only to reel it back to fulfill its best and truest purpose: marking The End.
