Synopsis

The whole is definitely equal to more than its parts in this board book of shape-by-shape construction of animals by New York Times Bestselling illustrator Miguel Ordóñez!

A cast of animal characters are formed one by one, piece by piece in this visual play on the interaction between shapes. If just three simple shapes can combine to create a fish, then four shapes make a...? Young readers are invited to guess before turning the page to reveal the latest animal added to the pack. Part guessing game, part visual narrative, young readers will follow along as shapes are added to build new characters, and laugh along as the existing cast attempts to build something of their own. With humor, anticipation, and possibility on every page, this board book encourages creativity and proves that anything is possible when taken piece by piece.

Reviews

Toddler-PreS-From three shapes to eight, these can be combined to make everything from a fish to a rhino. However, these aren't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill shapes. They include triangles with rounded sides, a wavy line, a gumdrop, and an arch. Turn the book sideways to see the winsome critters stacked atop one another with the goldfish leaping out of its bowl. The next spread finds all the shapes tumbled in a jumble, but oh, wow, the friends one can create with a little imagination now! VERDICT Prediction, close observation, and ingenuity are all encouraged, though it will take a sophisticated little one to mentally move the static shapes into animal constructions. α(c) Copyright 2011.
