WHAT SHAPE?

Eight shapes—diamond, oval, heart, etc.—are explored in crisp, attractive color photos: on the left, a single picture shows a child with a large object of a particular shape (Grace with a rectangular gift; Gemma in a triangular tent); at the right, familiar objects extend the idea (a starfish has five points, while the star-shaped cookies here have six). A simple but exemplary concept book, put together with unusual care and intelligence. (Picture book. 1-5)
