Rectangle

Shapes

by Bryony Jones, Rebecca Fox (Illustrations)

Every page of these colorful board books challenges young children to find the basic geometric shapes presented in everyday objects. Kids are encouraged to exercise their imagination and asked to make the shape using their bodies. Parents can help children with emergent language by discussing the activities and subtly changing shapes to reinforce concepts. The bright photographs and artwork offer plenty to talk about and the rich language helps illustrate the activities children love. A child’s world is full of rectangles and this book helps illustrate how easy they are to find. Everything from quilts and doorways to sand boxes and xylophones gleefully reinforce the prevalence of the rectangle in their lives.
