Eric Carle goes over the shapes。 This is a tab pull book where you have to patch the color and its name to a picture of something of the same color。 This would be a good book for learning colors and color sight words。

Not great as a shapes book -- very much pattern-matching， without thinking at all about differences in size or orientation。 （And thinking about those differences might lead someone to match the ladybug with semicircle instead of with dome， for instance， or to identify the circles on many pages。）There's also kind of a dimension problem？ Kids come up with all kinds of interesting shape names， and I'll happily go down those mathematical paths with them， but something like this formally including sq Not great as a shapes book -- very much pattern-matching， without thinking at all about differences in size or orientation。 （And thinking about those differences might lead someone to match the ladybug with semicircle instead of with dome， for instance， or to identify the circles on many pages。）There's also kind of a dimension problem？ Kids come up with all kinds of interesting shape names， and I'll happily go down those mathematical paths with them， but something like this formally including squiggle， almond， and dome as shapes in 2D space feels odd。I can imagine ways I would use this better， but it would kind of be deconstructing the book and ignoring its intentions in favor of mine。 。。。more

Eh。Someone took snips from Eric Carle's illustrations and matched them to shapes。The problems are many* There isn't just ONE match for circle。 There are circles on the eye （almond） page， the framed picture （square） page， the lady bug （dome） page， the box car （rectangle） page， and the caterpillar （squiggle） page， as WELL as the sun （circle） page。 So， matching doesn't REALLY work the way they plan。* There are lots of shapes， which makes it pretty unwieldy with little ones to find the right match。* Eh。Someone took snips from Eric Carle's illustrations and matched them to shapes。The problems are many* There isn't just ONE match for circle。 There are circles on the eye （almond） page， the framed picture （square） page， the lady bug （dome） page， the box car （rectangle） page， and the caterpillar （squiggle） page， as WELL as the sun （circle） page。 So， matching doesn't REALLY work the way they plan。* There are lots of shapes， which makes it pretty unwieldy with little ones to find the right match。* Some of these shapes aren't really recognized shapes。 Squiggle， anyone？ But also dome and almond。I appreciate the Eric Carle bits， but there are many many better shape books out there。 。。。more

Beautifully illustrated， like all of Eric Carle's books。 Split pages were hard for little fingers to understand。 Beautifully illustrated， like all of Eric Carle's books。 Split pages were hard for little fingers to understand。 。。。more

Another cute book with Eric Carle's distinctive artwork。 This one is a split boardbook to flip to match shapes to the picture。 Another cute book with Eric Carle's distinctive artwork。 This one is a split boardbook to flip to match shapes to the picture。 。。。more

I read this with Mommy today。 She flipped through the shapes and matched them while I watched。 I was really interested in the pictures and the turning pages。 I'm not sure if I understood the matching part yet， but I think this book will be a lot of fun for me when I do。 I read this with Mommy today。 She flipped through the shapes and matched them while I watched。 I was really interested in the pictures and the turning pages。 I'm not sure if I understood the matching part yet， but I think this book will be a lot of fun for me when I do。 。。。more

The only thing this book is missing is a vocabulary words next to the picture on the bottom half to tell what that item is！

Great little book， the shapes are unique。 （I read this in Hungarian and the shapes are translated incorrectly， can you believe that？）

This book is the perfect book to borrow from the library！Its fun the first few times but then its just easy for the toddler and uninteresting。

A handy little book on shapes that goes beyond the square and triangle to include a dome， a crescent， and a squiggle。 The illustrations are charming and bright。 This book is a must for any toddler learning shapes！

An excellent primary book to teach shapes - with appearances by very special characters！

Not my favorite Eric Carle， but even a so-so Carle， is better than many children's books。 Not my favorite Eric Carle， but even a so-so Carle， is better than many children's books。 。。。more

An interesting board book where it is split in half and each shape is to matched with the real object at the bottom。

Experimental design on dividing the book into a separate upper and lower half was amazingly ingenuitive。

Easy to Read 2 This book was awesome！ I love books where it is interactive。 The top part flipped as well as the bottom part so that readers could match the different shapes with different objects。 This is a great book where students can read and interact with the pictures。
