This book was PERFECT to introduce my students to our art and writing center. I just loved how the author shows children how they can turn lines into mountains or buildings (they especially loved the little superhero!) as well as using dots to connect and create flowers or other shapes. My kiddos were hooked at the opening line about having magic at their fingertips!

A great concept. Perhaps could start with the markers and crayons that actually make colors and lines since fingers don't.
