Dot, her friend Hal, and her dad are going on a scavenger hunt. Dot’s dad is dismayed to see Dot and Hal using a tablet to complete their scavenger hunt. Over the course of their hike, Dot and Hal learn the advantage of just looking with their eyes, while their dad learns that technology has it’s advantages, too.

A solid choice for libraries looking for more STEM reader titles. Dot is adapted from a Randi Zuckerberg book and a tv series, which can make some of the text feel stilted. Readers will enjoy the pictures lifted from the animated series.
