A-Z Dot-to-Dots [Paperback]

Steve Harpster (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up

Here's a clever, dot-to-dot way for kids to learn their ABCs while being entertained, too. Instead of connecting the dots with numbers, here pre-schoolers connect the letters. Each image has 26 dots that go from A to Z. So, as children have fun finishing all the pictures, the alphabet becomes second nature to them. And the pictures--including a lion, swashbuckling pirate, squirrel, hula dancing kitty, and cupcake with a cherry on top--will make kids smile.

This review is from: A-Z Dot-to-Dots (Paperback)

Doing dot-to-dot puzzles helps develop fine motor skills and penmanship skills by providing practice for proper holding of pencil or marker and the action of drawing a straight line. Each puzzle goes from A to Z (which is wonderful and better than other books such as published by School Zone which have less number of dots and don't always go all the way to Z), so this also helps with learning the letter names and their sequence, always from A through to Z.

The paper is good quality white paper stock. The images are in black and white, so when the puzzle is complete, the child may color it in. The images are goofy and silly looking animals, some of which are wearing clothing.

Wonderful for preschool aged children! Dot to Dot books make great gifts for young children, especially children who seem to have enough toys!

This author also has a book in which all puzzles go from 1-100, which I recommend. If you are looking for dot-to-dots for older children, see the series "Greatest Dot to Dot Book in the World!". For books with text with educational content, one book per topic, see books by Monica Russo and by Evan and Lyle Kimble.
