Description
The DotWith 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
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.Binding Type: Hardcover

Format: Kindle
Adorable. When my 3 boys miss their daddy while he's at work, its really nice to have this book! Especially for my 3 year old. Its nice to know daddies have important jobs & that they're not the only kids waiting for their daddy to come home. It's also nice to reassure them that daddy can't wait to see them either! Sweet, nostalgic pictures. Love it.

A classic reclaimed!
This classic Little Golden Book was my first "favorite book" as a little girl of four years who adored her daddy. Knowing full well that copy didn't survive the 60 plus years that have passed, I was elated to find it still in print. I found I still knew many pages by heart! My goal is to read it unendingly to a grandson who adores his daddy. Though the pictures are dated, and some of the occupations don't exist anymore, the love and respect a hard-working family man deserves is still well communicated--and the love of a child for it's father is still lovingly affirmed. I'm delighted with my purchase!

A childhood favorite
Format: Hardcover
I used to read this book over and over. I bought it for someone recently and re-read it with many tears. It's a real Golden classic! It's wholesome, cute, funny, and familial. Kids AND adults will love reading it. Plus, it transports you back to the 50s!

Just fine
Format: Hardcover
This was a good book. My husbands job doesn't really fit into any of the categories, it's very basic normal man jobs, so any job out of the ordinary won't be present in the book. Still a cute book with a good ending :)
