See This Little Dot

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.
