About this title

Synopsis

A whimsical tribute to the shape we’re in, the shapes we see all around us—and some shapes that could only come from the imagination of Dr. Seuss!

“The shape of you, the shape of me, the shape of everything I see.”

Even in silhouette, the fun and fanciful art of Dr. Seuss is instantly recognizable in this Bright and Early Book classic: “a bug, a balloon, a bed, a bike. No shapes are ever quite alike.” Looking at ordinary shapes is great when seen through the eyes of the remarkable Dr. Seuss, but of course it’s the extraordinary shapes that really make an impression. Would you want to be shaped like a BLOGG?

Bright and Early Books are perfect for beginning beginner readers! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1968 with The Foot Book, Bright and Early Books use fewer and easier words than Beginner Books. Readers just starting to recognize words and sound out letters will love these short books with colorful illustrations.
