This is an adorable book of discovery recommended for ages 4 to 7. Little i by Michael Hall introduces children to the alphabet and also to basic punctuation, and it does so through a simple story with beautiful illustrations. One day Little i loses his dot. It rolls into the sea. Seeing Little i without his dot confuses the other letters of the alphabet. They think he now looks more like a number than a letter ‘”strange,” said s, t, r, a, n, g, and e.” Little i decides to go find his dot, so he goes to sea in a boat that looks like a question mark. He lands on an island where he discovers punctuation marks as he searches for his dot: a spectacular! majestic! waterfall of explanation marks, a parenthesis tunnel filled with starry asterisks, and a field of comma sprouts where he pauses to admire each one. When he finally stops at a dot, he discovers it doesn’t fit him anymore. He has grown into a word: I. He returns to his alphabet friends with a new purpose and meaning.
