A charming new children’s read, Dot to Dot by Malcom Cossons tells the delightful story of a little girl called Dot who lives in London and her grandmother, Dot from New York.

Published by Thames and Hudson’s, the Neil Stevens illustrated flip-over picture book tells us the story of the Grandma and Granddaughter duo Dot and their shared birthday and how they wish to spend it together despite being miles across the pond.

One side of the book start’s with Little Dot’s story as she tries everything in her power to personally hand deliver a card made for grandma Dot in New York. During her journey, she bounces on springs across the sea, seeks help from birds and butterflies as well as tries to dig a tunnel in her garden. After you’ve finished, you can flip the book over to read about Grandma’s Dot’s story and discover how she is making a surprise visit to London. Grandma Dot stops over in Beijing, Mumbai and Rome rallying family and friends to join as well as a mystery gift for Little Dot.

The big nail biter is that will Grandma Dot arrive in London in time for their special day?

A wonderful gift for children three years and over, this tactile and interactive book allows children to read in two ways from front and back, with two plots which intertwine. The story appeals to children both young and old and will certainly keep you on the edge of the bed, wanting to know the outcome of this tender and feverish journey.
