Want to emphasize that shapes are not just drawings on a page? This book shows young readers how to recognize a shape in a drawing, but also in the real world. With only 157 words, this rhyming text helps beginning readers decode words and shapes. It first explains what a shape is and includes a photograph of a room with multiple shapes to find. Polygons, and shapes that can be classified as polygons, are also explained. Photographs of food and road signs are used to illustrate these shapes. The text also shows squares, triangles, rectangles, and circles. Readers will easily recognize these shapes on checkerboards, shape manipulatives, vehicles, and blankets. The back matter includes a glossary of six math terms used in the book, a short recommended reading list, an internet site for addition practice, and an index. For teachers, it also includes the word count, grade level, and early-intervention reading level. This text would work well in a kindergarten or first grade classroom. It would also be useful for English language learners and their teachers. This book is part of the "Pebble Math" series. Reviewer: Marcie Flinchum Atkins
