$26.60 PICTURE BOOK

This is a book
about shapes and it is divided into flat shapes, like circles, squares and
triangles and solid shapes like spheres, cubes and cones. Each page layout is about a specific
shape and has colorful photographs to illustrate the shape. The pictures used to show the shape are
from real life (with a lot of the pictures showing quilts or crafts) and it
encourages the reader to look for shapes everywhere in their world. The shapes are explained in simple two
to three sentence paragraphs. This
is unlike other books about shapes in that it shows both the flat and solid shapes. Also, by using pictures that we find in
our everyday living it makes shape more applicable to the reader. I think this book could be used in an
art classroom to discuss the difference between flat and solid shapes. Overall,
it’s an interesting book.
