From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-This elaborate concept book encourages identification and matching, with simple, recognizable animals and objects to reinforce shape association, mirror images, pairs, big and small, sorting, straight or curved lines, and patterns. Uncluttered cartoon illustrations fill each spread with movement and bold color. This book does not merely present pictures, but also encourages discussion with a series of questions and interactive games. "Which is the longest rectangle?" "How many triangles can you count on the tent?" "How many circles can you see on the clown?" This is an excellent sequential presentation for children's collections and curriculum materials, with imaginative, easily identifiable artwork.
