What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, cheerful concept book.
Ideal Reader
A 2 to 4 year old who is beginning to recognize shapes and is fascinated by the 'big world' of cars, trucks, and tall buildings. It's especially perfect for a city dwelling child or a child who is excited about an upcoming visit to a city, helping to prime them for observation and turning the trip into an interactive game.
Parent Prep
None required. The book is self explanatory and can be read cold. A parent can enhance the experience by being ready to point out similar shapes in their own home or neighborhood immediately after reading to reinforce the concept. The parent notices their child pointing at everything and wants to provide them with the vocabulary to name what they see. A parent might also be looking for a book that connects reading to their immediate environment, making a walk to the park or a ride on the bus an educational experience.
