A Circle Here, a Square There: My Shapes Book

by David Diehl

Book Overview

The youngest children will love this--and so will adults who enjoy sharing reading time with them. Each picture in A Circle Here, A Square There brings out the angles, curves, and lines in objects both everyday and unexpected. Artist David Diehl creates engagingly active graphic designs: whether it's the secretive square of a wrapped gift, the surprising crescent of a moon, or the (nibbled) triangle of a piece of pizza, all the illustrations are striking...

Customer Reviews

educational but not pricey

This is a useful book to teach about different kinds of shapes. Aside from circle and square, it includes heart, diamond, crescent, among others. The images are easily remembered because each page features a shape of a familiar object, presented with a person or an animal connected to it. This book offers more than what other board books of the same price do.

don't let the cover fool you

this is a really beautiful book. i don't know why the cover is sooo different from the lovely illustartion inside, but the inside pictures are surprising and great. my daughter points to the real objects we see form the book and says triangle for pizza, and stuff like that. the colors are bright and eye catching.
