Sidman , Joyce Round. Illustrated by Taeeun Yoo. PICTURE
BOOK. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017.
$17.99. Content: G.
A sweet,
little girl in this picture book loves round things. She sees them everywhere she looks: in trees,
on the ground, on a farm, at the beach. She notices the roundness of mushrooms,
blueberries, sunflowers and rocks. She
loves to watch round things that move, round things that are hidden, and round
things created by nature. She can be
round, too… “in a circle of friends with no one left out” or curled up by herself in a warm, round
ball.
This is a delightful book
exploring all of the round things that exist in nature. The back pages discuss why so many things in
nature are round, ending with the fact that round things are simply
beautiful! The illustrations are beautiful. The text can be used in a classroom exploring
nature and shapes. This is a simple yet
wonderful book.
Pre-K. EL (K-3).
