Shaped perfectly for little hands, this entry in the Rookie Reader--Counting, Numbers, and Shapes series uses a simple story to introduce the four basic shapes. An apple-cheeked little girl stares at the brilliant white moon. On the next page, she is pulling a wagon filled with a square, triangles, a rectangle, and a circle. By the third page, it's clear she is building a rocket, and on successive spreads, she chooses various shapes, showcased separately in crisp, brightly colored images, to add to a rocket form. An orange rectangle becomes a door, a green circle becomes a window, and so on. Then, off she goes on her trip to the moon. The rocket form isn't a standard shape, so kids may ask about it, but that probably won't get in the way of their enjoying the lively lesson here, made even better because little ones may be able to read the text by themselves. The words used in the story (in this case, 52 of them) appear in alphabetical order on the last page. Stephanie Zvirin
