See This Little Dot [Hardcover]

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 La?titia 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.Jane Yolen is an award-winning author, poet, and teacher. She has written more than 365 books, includingWhat to Do with a Box, illustrated by Chris Sheban, and the Caldecott Medal—winningOwl Moon, illustrated by John Schoenherr.
