I use this in my child care center to teach shapes. The shapes are big and colorful, and children learn them fast.
What a fun story with bright, colorful pictures to teach shapes and that you can put shapes together to make new things. Its rhyme, repetition and rhythm give it zip when read out loud. My first grader said, "It's like tanagrams with paint and paper!" We first read this as a library book, and she asked to buy it because it "gave [her] the idea to build a whole neighborhood!" I love the fact that it taught her something AND inspired her to go and build her own creations. The reading level is the middle of first grade. The rhyme and repetition make it especially approachable for first graders and some kindergarteners.
Great book to introduce shape to children they will learn how their environment is made out of shapes. I would recommend it to anyone with small children
Bought this book as a shower gift/decoration for my son & wife who are expecting their first child. The nursery theme is shapes. The book is delightful. Very colorful. I can't wait to read it to my grandchild.
It's a nice way to help your learning young one identify shapes and how to put them together to make larger objects.
