In the board book “Ten Black Dots,” ten black dots are used to make a variety of things.  For example, two dots are used to make up the eyes of a fox and three can make up the features of a snowman’s face.  

Max:   “I liked counting the dots on each page.  It was cool how they used them to make things.  My favorite was when they used the dots to make train wheels.  I also liked the pennies in the piggy bank page.”

Parent’s comments:  

Apparently, “Ten Black Dots” is an updated version of a book with an original copyright date of 1968.  I had not heard of this book until now and my son and I truly enjoyed it.  The book is educational and encourages creative thinking. We highly recommend it to any young child.
