This dvd, The Dot was an attempt to encourage my 4 year old son to keep picking up the crayons, and not to compare his work to his big sister, who is 5 years old. It worked like a charm, even a dot is a beautiful work of art, and the way you choose to look at it, can make it magical. He is finding his way to paper and pens more often, thanks to The Dot.

If you love classic childrens literature, simple but charming animation and if you want to inspire your children (and maybe even yourself) then you will love this Dvd.

I bought this on a whim along with other Scholastic Dvds containing classic stories I was more familiar with. I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 fantastic stories of children in dfficult situations and how with determination, perseverance and self confidence they overcame. The Dot and Amazing Grace being more realistic and Brave Irene more fantastic, this is an imaginative and inspirational collection without becoming too sappy.

I particularly liked narration in The Dot by Thora Birch.

My students loved "The Dot" film only. They didn't care for the additional 3 stories on this DVD.

The Scholastic video series is a favorite in our house. the dot is no exception. It is filled with stories to encourage your children to use their talents and be the best them they can be. Now I look at my children's squiggle as artwork just as the dot was considered a masterpiece.
