Little i Who Lost His Dot

by Kimberlee Gard

Sandie Sonke (Illustrator)

Little i can't wait to meet his friends at school, but there's just one problem: he can't find his dot anywhere? Each letter offers a replacement—an acorn from Little a, a balloon from Little b, a clock from Little c—but nothing seems quite right. Adorable illustrations teach alphabet letters and sounds with a surprising and satisfying ending to Little i's search.

The Little i Who Lost His Dot is a cute illustrated story for the youngest readers (ages 4-8, Lexile AD460L), and part of the Language is fun series; this volume written by Kimberlee Gard. Released 1st Sept 2018 by Familius, it's 32 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.

This is a fun book full of alliteration and cute letter shaped characters with stick figure arms, legs, and facial features. Little i has lost his dot and his friends try to help him find a good substitute (a coin, a balloon, a donut?). 

Everything works out in the end. It's a nice, gently told story, without a lot of stress or any scary moments. The art, by Sandie Sonke, is very colorful and full of small details which invite readers to take a little extra time on each page. 

Four stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or classroom library, homeschooling, and gift giving.
