A fold-out format encourages young readers to lift the flaps on every page for a fun-filled introduction to simple shapes. By the author of My First Book of Colors and My First Book of Counting.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Gatefold flaps and pop-ups, multicolored type and a cheerful mouse cast add a modicum of pizzazz to these entrants in an overcrowded field. The alphabet book presents each letter in upper and lower case, once printed primer-style within triple-ruled lines and again on ladyfinger-shaped flaps. Lift the flap and find a captioned picture of something beginning with the featured letter (a smiling mouse plays the Xylophone; more smiling mice model Uniforms). At book's end, the mice assemble a pop-up alphabet. Atop the flaps of the companion book, the mice gambol across designated shapes--open the flaps to see a group of similarly shaped objects (behind "Circle" lie a target, wading pool, plate, hoop, etc.) Murphy intelligently pairs flat shapes with their three-dimensional counterparts--circle with sphere, square with cube, triangle with cone--although the technique backfires with the rectangle (how many of us refer to "cuboids"?). The finale compensates for this minor flaw, squaring the book with a carnival of pop-ups and cut-outs. Ages 2-5.
