PreS-K–Shapes work together to create a home in this shape primer. Square, rectangle, triangle, circle, squiggly, and lumpy are all introduced with descriptive phrases about their sides and points. “I am a rectangle. I also have four sides. Sometimes I am very wide...and sometimes I am very tall.” After multiple attempts, the shapes finally work together to create a house.

VERDICT A fun purchase for collections that need more books about shapes aimed at the very young.
