"Playfully explores a broad range of early concepts, including: friendship and compromise, imagination, encouraging predictions, problem-solving, shapes, and mark-making. Melo's artwork complements this theme by utilising various kinds of mark-making, including collage, and we see the characters literally creating their environment through drawing." * Phoebe Demeger, Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE) * "Murray's action-packed story about friendship and creativity, brought to life by the imaginative and eye-catching illustrations of Brazilian-born artist and designer Bia Melo, is a wonderful introduction to shapes and art. As well as inspiring youngsters to get creative, the story promotes teamwork and problem-solving... Perfectly shaped for your pre-schoolers!" * The Lancashire Post * "Creative fun with Dot and Doodle, where an adventure is only a crayon drawing away...It's all great fun, bright colourful, and preschoolers get a basic lesson in geometry." * Love Reading 4 Kids *
