Customer Reviews

Exceptional book about shapes!

This book has bold, eye-catching pictures and wonderful rhyming text. I read this to a preschool class and they loved it. It can serve as an intro or review of shapes and also as a way to show how to put simple shapes together to make more complex pictures. At the end, there's a section that emphasizes how to put shapes together to make a picture, such as a clown.
