Is it a flower? A bird? A rocket? A car? Anything is possible. All you need is a magic hand, some colours on a palette, and off you go.
Step by step, artist Herve Tullet uses dots, lines and scribbles to open up a whole world of drawing. His artwork - and his books - are infectious. I've never met a child, or adult, who hasn't instantly fallen in love with them.
Dot! Scribble! Go! is full of all the fun and endless creative possibilities Tullet is known for. He begins the journey into art in black and white, inviting readers to feel the magic before cleverly inviting the reader to become the artist. This hardcover book, with a special fold-out ending, is perfect for little hands or big. It's easy to manipulate and durable too.
Tullet's artwork and books make for wonderful resources for any educator, parent or caregiver. This book will serve as a great inspiration in any educational setting. The book scaffolds the process of art, but it's also simply about mark-making.
Using just a finger and some imagination, Tullet unleashes creativity and inspires readers to see themselves as artists. Dot! Scribble! Go! sparkles with joy and energy.
