review 1: I read this today to a group of preschoolers, and they really enjoyed it. The colors/illustrations are bright--- and easy for a group to see. I used it for the theme "Get Creative"...because I needed a 3rd book to fit the theme. It would probably fit more closely in a "shape-themed" storytime, but it was fine here. I will add it to my storytime repertoire! We did a related craft where the children used stick-on dots (colored stickers used for filing)and cupcake liners to make garden pictures.
review 2: An absolutely brilliant book by graphic designer Craig Frazier. This is a book about dots, and all the ways they appear in the world around us. This book is not illustrated--it is truly graphic design in picture book form.Admittedly, I love learning about and... more looking at graphic design. But this book truly is amazing! You can make a flat, 2D circle look heavy or light, build on other things, have depth and meaning and significance just through design principles. This book is bright and colorful and full of fun objects that kids will enjoy. And it's nicely written. There's always a risk that an artist can't write, but Frazier did a great job. less
