International Dot Day!

Someday, somewhere, someone will ask you..."Where were you on International Dot Day?"  Were you in the library?  Well Piper was and boy oh boy did we have fun!  Check out our flannel dots!  Pretty cool, huh?



Now look at what our friend made with the dots.  I know, who knew?
A flying butterfly bear!  It's the best!


The power of the "dot".  Who doesn't love dots?

And who doesn't love Peter H Reynolds?  He's the author of the amazing and inspiring 
children's picture book, The Dot.  He's an award winning illustrator, author and founder of FableVision. (you have to click Fable Vision, truly click-worthy) Oh, and he owns a book store too, the Blue Bunny in Dedhan, MA.   I found the following sentence on his dot page:

 International Dot Day, a global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15, 2009.

Well, since I'm an obvious *FAN GIRL * we joined International Dot Day with  
Prime Time - Pajama Story Time with Mrs Breen and Piper!

Our books included The Dot, Lots of Dots by Craig Fraizer
and Herve Tullet's Press Here.  Following the stories 
and the singing game/placing all the dots on the flannel board - we made our mark.  
Yes we did, Peter H Reynolds! (Oh how I hope you're reading this!)  
With colorful paper and glue sticks and stickers - we went to town.


Hold on, here's another one!


I'm sure you know that you can't leave Pajama Story Time without some of 
Piper's Magic Fairy Dust and a goodbye to sweet ladybug.


Sweet Dreams my friends!  We love your comments.  Just leave us a dot!
And where were you on International Dot Day?  hmmm?  just askin'

P.S. (Piper Script) Peter H Reynolds  has a blog - get to know him and his books.  And yes, I have an orange ball in my mouth!
