Author and illustrator Craig Frazier creates dots of all colors and dimensions that young readers can discover around them. There are brightly-colored floating balloon dots, big drum stick dots, oranges (dots) falling from a tree, traffic light dots, ice cream dots, pea dots, heavy dumbbell dots, light bubble dots and more. This fun “I Spy” read-alike with its simple, bright, colorful illustrations is a fun read-aloud emphasizing colors and shapes for preschool children.

There are, indeed, many dots to be found around us. These dots are printed in vivid colors, which I like.

Lots of Dots by Craig Frazier
Age: 2-5
Genre: Concepts

Lots of Dots is a wonderfully illustrated concept book linking ordinary objects in a child’s life to simple little dots. There is an easy rhyme to the book, and did I mention that the illustrations are absolutely wonderful? I’ve been reading this book with my soon-to-be 2-year-old and he is in love with this book. In fact, I checked this book out to read for my baby/toddler storytime at the library, but my son has been having so much fun with it at home, I haven’t had the heart to take it back to the library yet. There are big dots (a drum) and small dots (spots on a ladybug). Dots that are heavy (dumbbells) and dots that are light (bubbles). Etc. He has fun identifying the objects he recognizes (bubbles, eggs, etc) and learning new vocabulary at the same time. Although there isn’t much text in the book, everything is referred to as a dot. It is up to the reader to match the dot to the tangible object.
