Dot! Scribble! Go! is our first look at a Herve Tullet book here at Little Squirrel's Bookshelf. Herve encourages artistic talent through imagination. His readers are invited to touch the pages and follow instructions to reveal the magic of art.
Filled with positive affirmations and exclamations of wonder each step of the way Dot! Scribble! Go! is a hands-on way to learn about following directions and an introduction to toddlers about colour, shape and the endless possibilities of dots, lines and scribbles.
Dot! Scribble! Go! would be a wonderful book to use in an art class for young children to teach them to follow directions and that art can be fun, abstract and free flowing. It's all about having fun!

This is an interactive picture book that uses dots, lines, smudges, scribbles, and the colors blue, yellow and red. Readers are given simply instructions to follow that lead them to draw a variety of flowers and other similar objects. This would work better as an art pad but only using a finger to pretend to draw is limited and predictable. Not sure who this book is for or how it can be used. Maybe it would be used to supplement preschool units introducing shapes and colors.

Bad concept as a library book where you are not supposed to write in the books!

This one is a little more open to interpretation but absolutely fabulous in engaging young minds wanting to learn “what is art�.
I love using Tullet’s book to break down expectations children can build around what they think art is. I’ve used previous books to help kids remember colours, textures and styles.

I was a huge "Press Here" fan, but I don't know if this one was just as much fun. I read it as an adult with a child and we were both getting a little lost in the instructions, and it incited a little more frustration than we'd expected. There were definitely some cool bits, and I like the color focused concepts Tullet does, but it's not quite what I like.

3.5 stars. Take three colors, dots, lines, and scribbles, and create art! This is more instructional than Tullet's other books. To be interactive the kids will benefit from having paper and markers in hand as the book is shared. That way they can do what Tullet suggests and see their own results. On my radar screen for storytime fun.

November 20, 2024This is kinda cute and I think would be really fun to act out with actual paint on actual paper. Maybe read the story then everyone gets paint and paper and makes lots of dots and scribbles and lines? I think it was really effective.

Neato! This fun activity board book teaches kids basic art lessons with simple instructions to turn shapes into colorful flowers and other common objects. Durable pages will stand up to all sorts of scribbles.

Another great interactive book from Tullet. This one is really fun and shows how rudimentary art is still art and you can make anything out of some scribbles

Audrey really enjoyed interacting with this book. And it reminds me once again of why Herve Tullet is just so good from a developmental perspective

This was not my favorite book by this author but I love the interactive nature of his books and how they encourage children of all ages to participate.

My almost 5 year old kiddo enjoyed this book. Immediately noticed it wasnt him making the scribbles but still an excellent interactive book.

This went on a little bit too long before we got to the final pictures of "What Else?"
