Book Spotlight: This is a Book of Shapes

From the creator of Green Pants comes a very slyly silly introduction to shapes!

First comes the circle. Then the square and the triangle.

Then … an emu pushing a pancake wagon down a hill?!

What begins as a concept book about everyone’s geometric favorites soon defies expectations with a series of funny and imaginative twists.

Kenneth Kraegel pairs a deadpan text with simple wood-grained shapes, interspersed with vibrant illustrations of animals engaged in hilariously absurd pastimes. Each page turn builds on the delicious anticipation the contrast creates to make this a unique and rollicking story-time hit.

“Mastering basic shapes is a key element for preschool readiness, and everybody knows that. Kraegel breaks, most delightfully, from the program, throwing his audience off balance with one change-up and then another, until this rudimentary lesson is so swamped with giggles that tykes might forget they’re learning.” —Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books
