The
Spot
by Judith and Michael Cohen
(Hard cover, 25 pages)
Ages 4 through 10
Does your child often feel "left out" of activities and rejected by
others just because he or she is a little different or unique?
Here's an upbeat book for 4 to 10 year olds which deals with feelings
of loneliness and rejection in an easy to understand way. This simple
tale centers around a one-of-a-kind "spot" who feels sad and lonely
because he is so small that nobody notices him. A strange turn of events
makes him the talk of the town, and he realizes that he is significant, after
all.
This warm and witty story is written totally in verse, with pictures for kids to
color in.
