1: Ten Black Dots
The book was in GREAT condition! It arrived quickly and i was very happy with my order.
|
2: Cute for learning to count
Very basic pictures which work wonderfully for my class of 3 year olds. It shows black dots creating many different pictures - eyes for a fox, wheels on a train, coins in a piggy bank; each page adds one more. Great for counting.

3: Ten Black Dots...
I have used this book for years. I lost my copy and am so glad to have it back! Children love to find and count all the dots. Then we make our our dot book!

4: What Can You Do With 10 Black Dots?
In fact, quite a bit can be done with a big dot. I gave my son and daughter some large dots and we had fun experimenting with what we could make out of them.
However, art is not my reason for giving a thumbs up to this book. I like its math side.
For toddlers there is counting. And for older children (I would say preschool age) there is an chart at the end of the book which shows dots and numbers from 1 to 5 on the first page and 6 to 10 on the next two pages (only 5 dots fit per page). Having the numbers and dots shown in this manner is a marvelous way to let little ones see the `ladder' shape of the number pyramid. And an opportunity to point out how moving up or down the stairs is equivalent to addition and subtraction.
We like this book. It has a cute concept that is appealing to young children. (Toddler to Preschool)
4 Stars for being of mathematical as well as artistic interest.

5: Ten black dots that stir the imagination
This is a fun book for young children. With the large pictures and font, the book begs to be touched and held and read! It could be used to reinforce a math lesson on counting objects. Afterward, the teacher/parent could give each child ten black dots, crayons, and paper and have them use their imagination to see what they could make. I think every young child should have a chance to hear or read this book!
