Meet Little “i” and His Missing Dot

Once upon a time, there was a little letter named “i.” One morning, the alarm clock sang the alphabet song to wake him up. Little “i” stretched and got ready for his last day at alphabet school. He was excited to see his letter friends on the playground!

Oh No! Where’s the Dot?

When little “i” got to the playground, his friends noticed something was missing. Little “g” gasped, little “p” pointed, and little “s” stared. “Little ‘i,’ where is your dot?” they asked. Little “i” looked up, down, left, and right, but his dot was gone!

Finding a New Dot

All the letters gathered around little “i” to help him find a new dot. They had lots of ideas! Little “a” suggested an acorn, little “b” brought a balloon, and little “c” offered a clock. They tried a donut, an egg, and even a flower!

More Silly Ideas

The letters kept coming up with funny ideas. Little “g” giggled with a gumball, little “h” handed over a hula hoop, and little “j” joked about a jumping bean. Little “k” thought a kiwi might work!

Trying Everything

Little “i” tried on a marble, a music note, and even a pretzel! Little “q” brought a quarter, and little “r” raced over with a ring. They even tried a spider and a thumbtack!

Still Not Right

Little “i” tried a yo-yo and a zero, but nothing felt right. When school ended, little “i” felt sad as he went to find his dad.

A Special Surprise

Little “i’s” dad, Capital “I,” smiled and said, “You didn’t lose your dot. You left it on your pillow! But since you’re growing up, maybe you don’t need it anymore.” Little “i” stretched his arms and pointed his feet, and his shadow looked just like a big “I”!

Becoming Big “I”

Little “i” was so happy! “Look, Daddy, I’m just like you! I can start a sentence now!” he cheered. And from that day on, little “i” was ready to be a big “I.”

If you love stories, ask your grown-up about Vooks! It’s a safe and fun library full of storybooks that come to life. You can explore more exciting tales just like this one!

  • What do you think it would be like to be a letter in the alphabet? Can you imagine what your favorite letter would do on the playground?
  • Have you ever lost something important like little “i” lost his dot? How did you feel, and what did you do to find it?
  • If you could choose any object to be a dot for little “i,” what would you pick and why? Can you think of something funny or unusual?
  1. Letter Hunt: Go on a letter hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the same letters as the ones in the story, like “a” for acorn or “b” for balloon. Can you find something for every letter from “a” to “z”? Draw or take a picture of each item you find and share your discoveries with your friends.
  2. Create Your Own Dot: Use craft materials like buttons, pom-poms, or stickers to create a new dot for little “i.” Think about what makes your dot special. Is it colorful, sparkly, or shaped like something you love? Once you’ve made your dot, tell a story about how little “i” found it and why it’s the perfect dot for him.
  3. Shadow Play: Just like little “i” turned into big “I” with his shadow, try making your own letter shadows. Use a flashlight or a sunny day to create shadows with your hands or objects. Can you make the shapes of different letters? What happens when you move closer or farther from the light? Experiment and see what fun shapes you can create!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Applause] The little “i” who lost his dot. [Music] The alarm clock rang to the alphabet song. Little “i” sat up, stretched, and rubbed his eyes. Last day of alphabet school. [Music] He saw his letter friends on the playground and hurried to join them. [Music]

Little “g” gasped, little “p” pointed, and little “s” stared. Little “i” they said, “Where is your dot?” Little “i” looked up. [Music] He looked to the left, huh, he looked to the right, but his dot was gone. “What will you do without your dot?” little “a” asked. [Music]

Little “w” whimpered, little “h” handed her a hanky. All of the letters crowded around little “i.” “Don’t worry,” they said, “We’ll help you find a new dot.” Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh. The school bell rang; it was time to make words. [Music]

All the little letters scrambled into school, but little “i’s” friends didn’t forget their plan. [Music] When they got to the classroom, the letters looked around. [Music]

“Oh,” little “a” asked, “How about this acorn?” Little “b” burst forward with a balloon. “Oh,” little “c” cried, “Try on this clock.” Little “d” dashed over with a donut. [Music] Little “e” exclaimed, “An egg is exactly what you need.” Little “f” followed with a flower. Little “g” giggled when he found a gumball. Little “h” handed over a hula hoop. Hmmm. Little “j” joked, “How about a jumping bean?” Little “k” knew the answer: a kiwi. [Music]

Little “u” urged him to carry an umbrella. [Music] Little “v” ventured forward with a valentine. [Music] Little “w” walked over with a wheel. [Music]

Little “x’s” extra special idea was an xylophone mallet. [Music] Little “y” yelled, “Wear this yo-yo!” Little “z,” always last, zoomed over with a zero. Little “i” tried them all on, but nothing felt right. [Music]

When school ended, all the little letters went out to where their parents were gathered. [Music] Little “i” saw his father and sniffed back tears. “I lost my dot.” Oh! [Music]

Capital “I” smiled. “No, little ‘i,’ you didn’t lose your dot. You left it on your pillow this morning. I brought it along, but since today is the last day of school and you’ve grown up, I’m not sure you need it anymore. What do you think? Do you really think I’m ready to be a big ‘I’?” [Music]

Capital “I” nodded. “Stretch out your arms and point out your feet.” [Music] Little “i” did, and when he saw his shadow on the ground, he smiled. [Music] “Daddy, look! Just like you! I can start a sentence now!” [Music]
