Shapes

Robert Crowther. Candlewick Press (MA), $12.99 (14pp) ISBN 978-0-7636-1889-6

The follow-up to Colors, Robert Crowther's Shapes boasts more than 30 flaps and pull-tabs to illustrate six shapes (circle, oval, square, rectangle, diamond and triangle). For example, the first page is a red die-cut circle labeled with its name; pull the tab and a string appears, transforming it into a balloon. With a turn of the page, layered circular flaps reveal labeled illustrations of round objects (pizza, ball, etc.).
