Cute concept book with striking graphics on solid white pages. Dots are seen everywhere and there are different shapes and types. This can be used to teach young children about opposites. ( )

Yet another fabulous picture book by a graphic designer. As in [b:Cat Says Meow: and other animalopoeia|17815781|Cat Says Meow and other animalopoeia|Michael Arndt|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1384714371s/17815781.jpg|24920121] we're given a very simple concept that is beautifully executed. Young children should grasp the idea easily, and adults will admire how well it is carried out.

30 months - A creative and interesting approach to opposites and various concepts using a dot. ( )

Dot by Patricia Intriago is an opposites book that uses pairs of dots to illustrate concepts. Like many other reviewers, the cover art made think of Press Here by Hervé Tullet (review coming) but Dot ended up having much more re-readability.

Many of the dots are black circles against the start white background. Sometimes the dot isn't a dot or it's distorted. For example, in the "hard dot, soft dot" spread, a finger presses down on the dots. One dot remains circular while the other one appears to give under the pressure. When color is needed, it's used but sparingly.

Early on, red and green are used for "stop dot, go dot." The simplicity of the book reminds me of the earliest pages of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. It had a similar appeal as Seuss's fish book for my daughter. Before returning it to the library she read it at least a dozen times. ( )
