The Spots and the Dots Paperback – 7 Oct. 2021

Helen Baugh and Marion Deuchars have created a heart-felt wonder in this gorgeous flip-book that can be read from both ends. The Spots & The Dots is an insightful &, ultimately, beautiful story of acceptance, perfectly pitched for the very littlest readers, with vivid illustrations that will stand the test of time. Told in perfect rhyme, the tale follows the adventures of both the spots and the dots as they learn to overcome their inherited prejudices and their fears of the unknown, finally discovering a wonderful friendship in those who are different (and, in the end, maybe not so different from themselves after all!). Essential for every bookshelf and utterly joyous - what a triumph!

I absolutely love this book and so do my children. They love being able to read the story from either the front or the back. I love the message that the story gives that it is often other people's opinions that we listen to but if we follow our own minds we will find things in common with others.

We have loved all of Helen Baugh’s previous books and The Spots And The Dots is no different. It is a book that works on different levels for different readers with a surprisingly powerful message just underneath the surfaceIt is a fun book first and foremost, though, with lovely writing and illustrations that match the atmosphere perfectly.Highly recommended to any younger kids out there.

I bought this book for me, as I'm interested in children's books and when Helen Baugh told me the idea, I thought it brilliant. But it's exceeded by expectations as the design and illustrations are so stunning. It's gorgeous looking and will make a lovely gift.

Bought this for my friend's (Israeli) grandson and it's now his favourite. He asks for it every night! Beautifully written & illustrated - carrying an important message for all of us

Bought for my nephew, he's been reading this book in school and really enjoyed it. Keeps them engaged and fun book

Everyone should buy 10 of these books and give them to all the kids they know - and if the parents read it too then the world might be a better place in the future. It's a classic for the ages. Brilliantly written and beautifully illustrated. Buy it for Christmas, birthdays - or for no reason at all!

Book is covered in tears bent and stained in several places.Very disappointed as it was described as very good condition which is close to brand new.It looks like it's been attacked by a gorilla in places.
