About This Book
Rhonda Gowler Greene's 'When a Line Bends--a Shape Begins' is a clever and engaging concept book that introduces young children to basic geometric shapes. Through rhythmic, rhyming text, it demonstrates how a simple line can bend, curve, and connect to create circles, squares, triangles, and more. The book's unique visual poetry, where some verses are shaped like the objects they describe, adds an extra layer of interactive learning. Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary children (ages 4-7), this book is an excellent tool for building early math and visual literacy skills while providing a gentle, entertaining read.
