In Jane Yolen's characteristically imaginative, free-verse explanation, the humble dot can take on many functions, from a spot of food to an animal's eye, from a marble to a moon. As Yolen extolls the dot's satisfying shape and innate neatness, illustrator Laëtitia Devernay brings it to life in this read-aloud picture book and sends it bouncing, rolling, and teetering off the edge of the page--only to reel it back to fulfill its best and truest purpose: marking The End.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Creative Company","offers":[{"title":"Board book","offer_id":54515157827887,"sku":"9781568464664","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48208180543791,"sku":"9781568463827","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3432\/0977\/files\/9781568464664_fc.jpg?v=1772462889"},{"product_id":"louie-mattars-fabulous-car","title":"Louie Mattar's Fabulous Car","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Louie Mattar was crazy for cars…. If it had a motor and four wheels, Louie went wild.\" From a vehicle-obsessed child, Louie grew into a knowledgeable mechanic and craftsman who always had to be tinkering, solving problems that seemed impossible and dreaming up innovations that no one else considered. Soon, he was modifying the family car to enable it to travel across the country without stopping--a feat he accomplished after five years of work, in 1952. The Fabulous Car still runs and is on view at the San Diego Automotive Museum, where it first inspired author Heidi Lewis to write about it. As a child, Heidi Lewis always dreamed of what was just beyond the road ahead. She's also fascinated by bizarre gadgets and outrageous quests, so when Heidi spied the Fabulous Car at the San Diego Automotive Museum, it was love at first sight.
