About the Author
Max Grover is the author of numerous children's books, including The Accidental Zucchini, Circles and Squares Everywhere!, Max's Wacky Taxi Day, See Them Go!, and So Many Kinds of Shoes!
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K?Grover, who brought Miss Mable's Table (1994) and The Accidental Zucchini (1993, both Harcourt) to joyous life, tries his hand at yet another concept book. This time, he attempts to point out the presence of circles and squares in everyday objects. It is a fine idea that unfortunately doesn't work. Bright, colorful illustrations depict cars, trucks, boats, etc., but the minimal text confuses rather than clarifies the concepts. For example, tires are used as an example of circles. Right, so far. But then, Grover moves on to cars. Cars themselves, even when drawn somewhat rounded, are not circles. Similarly, trucks have tires, but the trucks are not circles. Yet the text says "Tires and Cars and Trucks" inside a circle. More confusion?the next page shows roads, which, while they may curve, are not circles. Readers will know that for sure when they get to squares, since they are also illustrated by roads. A further problem with the language-illustration dissonance is that geometrically, square means four equal sides, yet the houses and buildings pictured might be rectangular or box-shaped, but most are not really squares. Concept books must be accurate. Nice illustrations alone are not enough to make them work.?Linda Greengrass, Bank Street College Library, New York City
