Books with title Dots, Spots, Speckles, and Stripes

A young tiger sets out to explore and hunt, determined to catch things with stripes. A young leopard sets out to explore and hunt, determined to catch things with spots. And when the two youngsters meet, their adventures more than double! In this delightful children's book, originally published in 1961, Dahlov Ipcar uses the playful cats to depict the exuberance and innocence of youth. And when danger looms, perhaps they are not as old or as brave as they think they are. Ipcar's incomparable signature artwork has never looked bolder or brighter.

Each brightly colored board book has a rhyming story, five scenes, and five easy jigsaw puzzles inside!― Each scene features one child and one animal. The picture of the animal is a 16-piece puzzle that can be taken apart and put back together countless times.― Heavy board pages and thick puzzle pieces are ideal for eager toddler hands.― Vibrant photographs of happy children accompany cheerful drawings of animals throughout the books.― A first look at subjects youngsters want to understand: animals, weather, transportation, and food.
