Synopsis

The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Adventure, (the 17th book in the Greatest Dot-to-Dot series) by David Kalvitis, carries on his tradition of skillfully utilizing dots to create the most amazingly complex and artistic dot-to-dot puzzles to ever hit the market.

The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Adventure - Book 1 begins following a guide, an imaginative young boy searching for the missing pieces of a mysterious gift. Together, visitors will navigate challenging puzzles and unearth secret clues to discover new species of dots and spectacular views. One can even challenge themselves by scaling the 'Everest of Connect-the-Dots', a four page foldout puzzle comprised of a record breaking 2,600 dots.

Kalvitis' goal was to raise the connect-the-dot bar even higher with his new 'Adventure' series. A simple story line that follows a boy around his home town looking for clues is a continuing theme in Adventure Book 1. The variety of images expected in Kalvitis' previous books are still present in this new offering, in addition the images of what the young boy sees 'connect' as the story begins to unfold.

Speaking of unfolding, the new Adventure Book also contains two triple page foldouts, and one jaw dropping four page foldout with over 2,600 dots, the largest Dot-to-Dot in print to date. Kalvitis' new book also boasts a couple new puzzle styles as well as puzzles that give clues to other puzzles in order for you to solve them. Because of these interacting puzzles in addition to the new story line (both of which have never been done in an activity book of this type before), The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Adventure Book is even more interactive and exciting than ever before.

Join us on the Adventure, because Dot-to-Dots aren't just for kids anymore!

About this title

From the Author

A Note from the Author

Connect-the-dot puzzles are a fun, quiet activity that I always enjoyed as a child. As an adult, I found that all the books available were for young children just learning their numbers, with drawings that gave away the final pictures.

Being a lifelong puzzle fan, I thought it would be fun to design a sophisticated and challenging dot-to-dot book for older kids. My objective was to create a magical dot-to-dot experience, not only by increasing the numbers and image quality, but also by inventing new and refreshing ways of creating pictures.

Adults repeatedly tell me, "I used to love dot-to-dots as a kid!"
One of the most satisfying surprises is that grown-ups enjoy the puzzles as much as kids. It is also exciting to hear of the numerous ways that the books have been used for teaching and rehabilitation.

The Greatest Dot-to-Dot Books have won multiple awards and the puzzles can be found all over the world in newspapers, magazines, catalogs, various stores and on the Internet. I'd like to think it's because I've tried to push dot-to-dots to a new and unexpected level, striving to create a modern day dot-to-dot revolution!

Have fun!

From the Back Cover

"David Kalvitis has the best set of dot-to-dot books you can purchase. The others are cheap imitations and don't come close to the 'world class' quality David brings to his work. He still creates every inch of these books by himself and his commitment to excellence has never wavered. The best thing about David's work is he is constantly fine tuning his craft to make the next book even better."
