Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Spot the Dot is an interactive book app by popular pop-up author David A. Carter. Each of the book’s 10 sections introduces a colored dot, which is then hidden on the page among other colored shapes. Just like a pop-up book, the reader must interact with the page to find the dot, by tapping, sliding, and even combining the shapes on the page. Reading is not necessary, but some of the pages may be challenging for younger learners who have trouble with fine motor coordination or who do not already know their colors and shapes.

Is It Any Good?
Spot the Dot is a fun way to reinforce shapes and colors for early learners. It combines the simplicity and repetitive nature of a picture book with interactive puzzles that will keep kids engaged. It’s best to play the game together at first, to help your kids through some of the more puzzling pages and get the benefit of the teaching tips on each page.
