Summary
This story is a number book with the dog spot that has one dot on his ear. On each page Spot gains a new colorful spot. In the end he has ten colorful spots. He has a red post of jam, a blue blob spot from paint, a green spot from grass, a yellow spot from pollen, a brown spot of chocolate, a pink spot of ice cream, an orange spot of juice, a purple smudge of ink, and the black spot on his ear. Then his owner gives him a bath and he goes back to bed with no spots.
Personal Response
This is a great number book. It is really creative and very fun. The colors of the spots are all bright and colorful. I think it is a perfect book to teach children to count to ten. Also, on one of the pages it includes synonyms for spot. It would be a great book to introduce very young children to the more complicated idea of a synonym.
Potential Problems
I couldn't find any potential problems in this story.
Recommended to...
I would recommend reading this to very young children of any gender. This would be a great book to start teaching a child to count.
