A Circle Here, A Square There: My Shapes Book

The youngest children will love this—and so will adults who enjoy sharing reading time with them. Each picture in A Circle Here, A Square There brings out the angles, curves, and lines in objects both everyday and unexpected. Artist David Diehl creates engagingly active graphic designs: whether it’s the secretive square of a wrapped gift, the surprising crescent of a moon, or the (nibbled) triangle of a piece of pizza, all the illustrations are striking and exuberantly colorful. Kids will make exciting connections between the letters of the simple words on the page, the exciting images, and the common shapes of the world around them.
