PreS-Gr 1—In these concept books, bright visuals that combine stock photos with other design elements illustrate the Shapiros' simple rhymes. With its tighter focus, Spots works much better than Stripes. Young listeners will be able to find examples of circles on every page, even those that feature three-dimensional objects such as cylinders and balls. Unfortunately, Stripes digresses from the title idea by introducing squares and cubes as well as lines and stripes. Consider Spots a top choice with Stripes a flawed second.—Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato
