Away We Go!: A Shape-and-Seek Book

by Chieu Anh Urban

Away We Go! teaches basic shapes through bold, graphic design and inventive die-cuts on every page.

Triangles become sailboats and hearts become airplanes as each spread reveals a different mode of transportation made from bright colours and geometric shapes. The creative challenge of this board book is to find the vehicles in the shapes
and to find the shapes in the vehicles.

With special search-and-find shape-based games throughout, children will love learning and searching for basic shapes in this clever collection of things that go!

*Die-cuts on every page!

This is a great board book for little kids to help them learn about shapes and colors. My 1 year old daughter loved that she could stick her hands and fingers through the different shapes, and her older brother loved helping her find how many shapes and colors there were on each page.
It's a fun book to keep the little ones entertained!

This is a great book. Great way to teach kids about shapes and colors. My 18 month old loves it. Trying to get him to learn all the shapes and what the pictures are. Great book overall.

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway.

-kids can look for different shapes in the illustrations
-since the book is small, use with a smaller toddler storytime crowd

This board book features cutouts of shapes in all sorts of vehicles. Nice concept but I didn't like the shape name is on a page with the previous cutout. Any age group. Liked the actual cut outs.
