Overview
With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There " she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.

The Dot tells about a student who has no confidence in her art ability until a teacher helps her believe in herself.
Elizabeth K. - 6 years agoI love this book, The Dot! The copy I received through Half Price Books was in pristine condition. I had used a library copy before as an opening lesson for my elementary school art lessons, and decided to buy my own. My art students enjoyed it as much as I did.
