Away We Go! A Shape-and-Seek Book

Chiêu Anh Urban. Scholastic/Cartwheel, $6.99 (20p) ISBN 978-0-545-46179-5

Urban demonstrates the remarkable versatility of shapes, using them to create an array of vehicles. On each brightly colored spread, a question addresses readers directly. “Do you see a square?” opens the book, as a geometric truck and train appear below. Subsequent pages ask children to find triangles, hearts, stars, octagons, and more—plenty of each can be found within each vehicle—as die cuts form each shape mentioned. With parental help, readers will finish this book with a good sense of both shapes and methods of transportation. Up to age 3. (June)
