About this title

Synopsis

A square is just a square until it becomes a house in this clever book. A circle becomes a spinning ferris wheel, and when you add some string and a tail to a diamond shape, it becomes a kite flying high in the sky! With sprightly rhymes and energetic illustrations filled with hidden shapes, Dayle Ann Dodds and Julie Lacome reveal that shapes are everywhere. Encouraged by this entertaining introduction to an important first concept, young children will eagerly begin to identify shapes in the world around them.

From Booklist

Ages 3-5. This sprightly introduction to shapes shows children how circles, squares, and triangles are parts of things they see every day. "A square is just a square, / Until you add a roof, / Two windows and a door, / Then it's much, much more!" The verse and a solid square appear on the right half of the two-page spread; a simple house appears on the left. Among the book's delights are its appealing, crisp design, clever paper-collage art, and its choice of kid-appealing subjects (like kites to illustrate the diamond shape) to grab attention. Lots of uses for this one, but it can easily be read and viewed just for fun. Ilene Cooper
