Review

This picture book has very bold, colorful illustrations. Prominent colors are blue, green, orange and black with a bit of red.

Indeed, a very clever little story featuring the alphabet. Little "i' loses his dot and goes on an adventurous journey in search of it. When he does finally find it, the dot would not stay put. The dot now feels awkward to Little "i" who has become used to not having it. So he leaves the dot where he found it and returns to the other alphabet letters. Over the course of his adventure, Little "i" has grown up and discovers that he has turned into a WORD - Big I.

This book is a fun filled read. Great for alphabet learning and teaching the concept that it usually takes a group of letters to make a word - but not always! Appropriate for preschoolers through 1st grade.

Overall Book Score: excellent
