Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

Dots & Spots is a fun drawing guide full of prompts for younger readers. Due out 1st Sept 2020 from Quarto on their Walter Foster Jr. imprint, it's 80 colorful pages.and will be available in paperback format.

A short how-to-use-this-book tutorial (2 pages) is followed by pages and pages of colorful dots and a prompt for what the dots could be (a spaceship, a monster, a robot). This little book will provide hours and hours of entertainment.

This is a very simple concept, but very well done. This would make a super rainy-day or quarantine activity book.

Four stars.
