Little i

When his dot falls off and tumbles into the sea, Little i sets out to find it again, voyaging across the waves to an island where he encounters a waterfall of exclamation points, a cavern with asterisk gems, and a garden of comma-sprouts. Experiencing excitement, wonder, and taking many pauses (in the garden, of course), Little i eventually finds his dot. But somehow, it no longer seems to fit. What has happened to change our letter hero...?

A sweet story of growth and change, one that uses letters and punctuation marks in fun and creative ways, Little i can be read as an entertaining adventure story, but also serves as an introduction to the idea of lower and uppercase letters, and the function of various punctuation marks. Like show more author/illustrator Michael Hall's other picture-books, it features appealing, colorful artwork, created using paper collage, and put together digitally. Recommended to Michael Hall fans, and to anyone looking for children's stories about letters, punctuation, and/or growth. show less

Little i's dot falls off and rolls away, and Little i goes off in search of it - on a question mark boat, through a garden of commas, past an exclamation mark waterfall, through a cave studded with asterisk gems - but when Little i finds its dot, it doesn't fit the way it used to. Little i returns to the rest of the lower-case alphabet, changed.
