The Dot

32 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1961-2 $$14.00
(4) K-3 Convinced she's no good at art, a girl named Vashti angrily draws a single black dot, which her teacher frames, goading Vashti to outdo herself by creating a whole series of dot paintings in a myriad of colors and styles. Energetic cartoon illustrations and handwritten text make palatable the book's none-too-subtle message about nurturing creativity.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
