Shapes That Roll
Some shapes roll . . . some don't. Some shapes stack . . . others won't. Some shapes lie down . . .while others stand tall. Circles, squares, and triangles, even ovals and diamonds, are endlessly and intriguingly entertaining in Steve Wilson's world. Karen Nagel's rhythmic text is brought to life by Wilson's troupe of uniquely-shaped characters.

Follow brightly-colored Triangle, Circle and Square as they take you on a tour through the world of shapes. Some shapes roll, some don’t. Some stacks, some don’t. Some open and close, some are in pieces, and other are heavy. This book doesn’t tell readers the names of the shapes until the very end, allowing the text of the book to be more playful. It also is built for conversation about the shapes readers are seeing, from basic shapes to cubes and spheres too. This silly, colorful book about sha...more
Just as cute dogs are chick bait when you walk 'em in Battery Park City, and my friend Juliet is a magnet for smelly old drunks, some picture books attract hipster parents like flannel attracts lint. Kevin "Squidfire" Sherry's books. Laura Ljungkvist's. William Bee (guy has a book called Whatever, for Pete's sake - if that's not playing to the post-modern parent I don't know what is). The geometric world of Bob Staake. French illustrator Marc Boutavant, whose book Boule de poils et mon canard tr...more
This is a good book for teaching shapes. Probably would work best one-on-one with the child instead of in a storytime since there is so much to be seen on the pages. The rhyming keeps the text going. The shapes are made to stand out by their shiny material. And the end has the reader going back to find some of the shapes seen in the book. Well done, I think.
Real life examples are contained throughout this book. It shows shapes that are not usually thought of as being a shape, meaning they are different than a square, triangle, rectangle, circle, or square. It is a great book to get students learning and thinking about shapes in their real life and elsewhere.
Read this book to see if it would fit a request from the SK for a good book on 2D and 3D shapes. It doesn't have as much on that subject as I'd have liked, but it will work well enough for the class.
A fantastic, colorful, shiny introduction to shapes. Rhyming verse.
"Some shapes stack. Some shapes don't. Eggs and balls are shapes that won't."
"Some shapes stack. Some shapes don't. Eggs and balls are shapes that won't."
Very shiny, raised shape elements to feel, all in bright colors. Text told in rhyme; great read-a-loud. Themes- shapes and opposites
Excellent book to use for teaching shapes to younger students. This book makes it fun to learn shapes, and the students can act out the book to get their "wiggles" out.
very colorful shape book and goes about explaining shapes in a unique way.
A fun way to learn about shapes. Nice shiney pictures.
