PreS-Gr 1
Each page of these two guessing books begins with a hint. In the first, "It's the shape of a cracker and this window, and all sorts of stamps." The words "What's the shape?" appear on a full-page gatefold. When opened, a large, brightly colored pop-up is revealed. The objects in both books will be familiar to most children. Young listeners can call out the shapes and colors, vehicle types, and sounds. In small groups or one-on-one, they can walk around the room identifying other objects of that shape. Older children will enjoy handling the books, exploring how the shape is folded into a page smaller than itself. This could lead into an origami or bookbinding program. The books' major fans will be young children who will want to touch each page and call out answers. Like any tactile book, these treasures won't last long, so preschool teachers and librarians may want second copies for group use only.
