Review
"Swain's vibrantly colored, pencil-outlined watercolors with expression-full, perspectively skewed, anthropomorphized caricatures are playful, appealing to storyteller and listener alike."

We used Dotty for a whole school science week project. The children really enjoyed finding out about Dotty and her whacky inventions. They then went on to produce some very interesting inventions of their own. Would definately recommend this book especially in schools for children aged 4 - 8.
