This bright, colorful book with whimsical illustrations is fun to look at. The big, bold words are easy for children to read, and the rhyming text is simple. It encourages children to look for the shapes hidden within each picture. While it has no real story line, it is valuable as a tool for learning shapes and colors. It may be a bit too simplistic for some, if they are of reading age. It might be more appropriate as a board book, rather than a hardcover.

My son has loved this book from the start. I thought he was just fascinated by the vibrant colors and pictures, but evidently it is also a valuable learning tool. He knew all the shapes by 12 months. He is 18 months now, and we still read this book, making up stories about the pictures. He still likes being 'tested' on the shapes at the end, though of course he knows it by heart by now.

I have this book as a board book, which is good because it's appropriate as a "baby's first" type of book. I just love it and my one year old just loves the bright pictures. When I put it down to get another one, he points to it again. The rhyming text is wonderful and the pictures are really cool and artsy and bright. My 3-year old also likes it because she understands how to find and count the shapes. I really recommend this one - perfect for a baby gift or first birthday!

So my son is good at many things, but seek and find is not one of them. He loves, oh how he loves to do them though. This book is right at his level, especially after a few times through. He also likes to count the shapes (which he is good at). The illustrations are not particularly engaging, but that doesn't bother him. There are very few books of this kind that he can do without too much frustration. In fact this one, Hide and Seek, one about Seymour, and the first page of the Disney princess seek and find are about it.So I would definitely recommend to younger kids and those just figuring out seek and find books.

I love this book. It is good for visual discrimination, building vocabulary, and for helping children see details in pictures. It does a great job of covering all the shapes. It is not a read-aloud but great for the book center and for one to one of small group work.

As a Spanish speaker Family who is always looking for good resources to teach the language to our toddler, We agree that this book cover all our expectations. We think this is one of the best translated book edition we have ever gotten here. Therefore, We recommend it highly for those families who are trying to introduce a second language at home.

This book was given to us by my mother-in-law (former kindergarten teacher), and our 2 year old son LOVES this book. He simply loves to point out all the shapes on al the pages. Zig zag was a little more difficult, but he's getting it. I'd highly recommend this for young children learning their shapes!

This is a great book for a pre-reader, up to age 4 or so. It teaches rhymes, shapes, colors and numbers, all in a sturdy board book illustrated with funny colorful pictures. Very cute!
