COPY ISBN
Toddler-PreS—A casual look at different shapes using short sentences and crisp photographs. In We Love Ovals!, objects include a watermelon, a tub, a stone, a mirror, and an egg, while We Love Triangles! offers a more unexpected approach with a piece of cake, a hot-air balloon, chips, and a ruler. Throughout the series, sentence structure follows a similar format: "The window is an oval," "The house is a triangle." In each title, a turn of the page displays a photograph of the object mentioned. Each book ends with a page of mixed shapes and the sentence "point to the…" (naming whichever shape is being featured in that title).
VERDICT A fun way to introduce shapes to tots before going on a scavenger hunt in the library, classroom, or home to find other examples. A strong purchase for early learning collections in public libraries and classroom settings.
