Review Detail

Shapes and Shapes was hard to read without immediately being motivated to gather up shapes and a small child to make art. It was incredibly inspiring and I can see it being so useful in a math, STEM, or art lesson with Preschool-Kindergarten students to learn the names of shapes and combine them to see the shapes all around us. It went one step further by showing how the shapes can be combined to make 3-D shapes. The pictures have many details beyond the text so if a child needs to learn the names of shapes this is best read with the guidance of someone older to name what is not labeled. Overall, this book is a great classroom resource and makes you want to jump up and make shape art too.
