Little i Who Lost His Dot tells the story of Little i who can't wait to meet his friends at school, but there's just one problem: he can't find his dot anywhere.

Each letter offers a replacement—an acorn from Little a, a balloon from Little b, a clock from Little c—but nothing seems quite right.

Adorable illustrations teach alphabet letters and sounds with a surprising and satisfying ending to Little i's search.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"With many alphabet books in circulation, it takes originality and creativity to make another A,B,C book stand out; finding a book like The Little i Who Lost His Dot is like finding the sweet blueberry in the mix of the bland" — Tulsa Book Review

The book uses a whimsical device of a missing dot to create a playful alphabetic romp, with cartoonish, colourful illustrations that bring the letters to life and design that engages young readers while teaching letter shapes and sounds.
