About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler starts noticing the world around them, pointing to objects and asking what they are. It's the perfect moment to introduce foundational concepts in a fun, engaging way. "Shapes Are Everywhere!" uses simple, rhyming text and bright, clear photographs to show how basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles make up everyday objects, from cookies and windows to kites and pizza slices. It sparks a sense of wonder and joy in discovery, turning a simple reading session into a game of I Spy. For young children, this book is an excellent, straightforward tool to build vocabulary, observation skills, and a new way of seeing their own environment.
