Review

Shapes are a part of our everyday life. Once you become aware of the the curvy, straight,pointy shapes around you-you see them everywhere. After introducing the reader to 9 shapes, two children put the 9 together in various forms and ask the reader what they see. Perhaps it is a triangle and a semi circle become a ballerina. Take those same two shapes, rearrange them and add some circles and you might see an elephant being carried away by balloons. Clean, soft illustrations engage the reader and test their imagination. This is a picture book for those readers who already know their basic shapes and are looking for something a bit more advanced. It is a book one could to use to introduce geometry at its basic level. add it to your STEM list.

Overall Book Score: very good
