Who says you can’t illustrate a children’s book?

Who says you can’t illustrate a children’s book?
These clever books use only dots to tell story and inspire young authors.

Press Here uses only painted dots in three colors. It asks the reader to try different activities to move the dots around the page like clapping or shaking the book. School Library Journal calls it “the most interactive picture book of the year”.
Here are some other great books that use only dots to tell a story:

Make your own dot story!
Create some dot pictures and tell a story about them.
Where to get dots: hole punch, stickers, markers, ink and a pencil eraser, fingerprints, bingo markers
Dot pictures from the library:

Abstract picture with bingo markers and hole punch scraps

More representational design with paper and buttons

Sticker and tape, bingo marker
Don’t worry if dots don’t work as planned Give a paint blob googly eyes and you have a unique main character just like Splotch the bird in the Roly Poly Egg.
