Every child who is free to play at drawing is preparing to learn how to read and write at the same time. So, encourage the children in your life to draw, paint, colour in, copy and doodle, and you will help them to develop their literacy skills along the way. Dotty Spotty Doodles contains 22 activities for kids: mazes, colouring pages, seek-and-finds and more! Ages: 3-7 AUTHOR: Barroux studied photography, art, sculpture and architecture in France at the famous Ecole Estienne and Ecole Boule. He went on to work as an art director in Paris and Montreal. Barroux illustrates by creating linocut images and using vibrant colors and is now well known for his illustrations for children's books. In 2005, he won the Enfantasie Award (for Uncle John and the Giant Cherry Tree). Dotty Spotty Doodles and Zig Zag Zebra are his first projects with Barefoot Books.
