I read this book to a class of two and three year olds. They love to find the circles and squares. It lets them "read" the book themselves. The quality photography is a pleasure for all ages. There is no text, which makes the book more interactive because you talk about the pictures with the children instead. This lets them be more active participants.
Toddlers will love turning the pages and discovering circles and squares in an exciting format. My children are learning so much looking at this book again and again. Also get the Dr. Seuss's book about shapes and a book called 'What Is Round?'
A book of beautifully imagined photographs, these are vivid images taken to encourage children to seek circles and squares in everyday things, which is a wonderful idea. The book could provide a series of clever geometry lessons, but there is a drawback: many of the objects photographed—tomatoes, boxes—are visibly three dimensional. The rim of a glass of milk is easily described as a circle, but a radish is a sphere and a box is a rectangular solid. True, each side of the box can be a perfect square, thus yielding a cube; but a cube is not a square. Squares and circles lie in a plane—a flat surface. If you make the distinction as you view the images with a child, you can teach a valuable geometry lesson that will carry over into the real world. But you must clarify the difference.
