Friday morning, my 1.5-year-old, whom we call J around here, crawled into my bed with a copy of “Where’s Spot” by Eric Hill. It’s one of over a dozen adventures for Spot, a puppy whose curiosity is rivaled only by his creators’ interest in cashing in on his popularity. Spot’s stories are hide-and-seek odysseys; he’s always searching for something or forcing his parents to search for him. In “Where’s Spot,” his mom can’t find him, so she searches all over the house until she finds him in a basket. The end. It’s cute and it’s brainless, and it led me to the subject of this week’s newsletter.
