Eye Spy Shapes Peephole Book Hb

I spy with my little eye . . . What shape makes towers and castles? What shape sparkles and shines? Listen to the clues and look through the peepholes to discover five simple shapes: a circle, square, triangle, rectangle, and star. Young readers can find them among the many familiar objects appearing on every answer spread, then look for each shape in their own homes and playgrounds. Bright, colorful photographs of children laughing, playing, and creating shapes of their own are so engaging, that readers will want to join in the fun. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Combining a peephole guessing game with the identification of shapes is not a novel idea, but it works as an introduction to the concept for the very young. Various objects representing circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and stars are pictured in colorful photographs. Children of different ethnic backgrounds are shown interacting with the toys. Pages are crisp and clean and have enough action to engage a child's attention without being overly busy. A companion to MacKinnon's Eye Spy Colors (Charlesbridge, 1998). Sally R.
