Squares

“An exercise in strongly colored simplicity. Thick pages with cut-outs invite babies and toddlers to feel the shape of squares and rectangles as well as to notice how the same shapes can represent different things. ‘Two rectangles can become . . . two candles or two pencils.’ ‘This small square could be . . . an ice cube or a piece of chocolate.'” —Megan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal

“An engaging, visually appealing introduction to basic shapes, developmentally appropriate for infants and toddlers.”—Kirkus Reviews

“These impeccably designed concept books are deceptively simple and pack lots of opportunity for an engaging reading experience . . . . The bright primary and secondary colors against white backgrounds are just right for toddlers.” —School Library Journal, slj.com

“Try to figure out what the colored shape could be. Turn the page to find out. The square could be a pot or a book. The rectangle could be a door or a block or a candle. The questions and peek through shapes make this an engaging book for littles learning their shapes.“—Imagination Soup
