Additional reading categories include: Preschool Prep Books Beginner Reading Books Early Reader Books Preschool and Kindergarten Books From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—Tullet's latest interactive offering encourages readers to experiment with sound. The author/illustrator tells children to say "oh!" each time they see a blue dot. The size of the dots changes: a large one prompts kids to let out a loud "oh!"; a tiny one, a soft "oh." Tullet spreads the dots far apart on the page to slow things down and groups them together to speed things up. When a red dot enters the mix ("say 'ah!' "), the words and illustrations become wonderfully wacky. What would it sound like if the blue dot had a conversation with the red dot? Or if they were tickled? Blending elegance and whimsy, Tullet artfully places simple shapes against a white background, letting the images turn delightfully chaotic at times. An argument between the two circles has a frantic, Jackson Pollock—esque feel, while a scene in which the narrator asks readers to pretend that the dots are jumping on a trampoline evokes the joyful energy of Keith Haring's graffiti. Visible smears on the spots add a painterly charm. The enthusiastic text matches the lively visuals. VERDICT Whether shared in a group or one-on-one, this dynamic selection will make a boisterous read-aloud. Consider using it to introduce youngsters to the concept of musical notation. Pure fun.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal Review "Tullet achieves what should be impossible using only dots, lines, primary colors, and a few simple phrases."- Booklist, starred review "An iristable journey of sound, color, motion and imagination."-- Learning Magazine "Another wonderfully charming, engaging book to add to their kids' bookshelves."-- Cool Mom Picks "Sure to provide parents and children with endless hours of silly fun."-- Bookish "Pure fun."- School Library Journal "There's no one way to read this book, making each encounter a fresh experience."- The Horn Book Magazine "Another infectiously joyful romp from the panjandrum of playful pointillism."-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Creative wizard Hervé Tullet makes read-aloud magic again."-- Common Sense Media "It's a book that's all about play, the noisier the better."-Publishers Weekly About the Author Hervé Tullet is known for his prodigious versatility, from directing ad campaigns to designing fabric for Hermès.
