Shapes that Go by Rebecca Bondor

Shapes That Go
Concept by Rebecca Bondor

Photographs by Scholastic   

This simple board book teaches shapes and colors through photographs of vehicles.  Each page shows a shape on the left hand side and on the right hand side a vehicle.  The first page has a red circle on the left hand side of the page.  On the right hand side of the page there is a photograph of a backhoe.  The tire of the backhoe is highlighted in red to make the red circle on the corresponding page.  The book continues in this manner with shapes square, rectangle, triangle and octagon.  The colors that are introduced are:  red, green, blue, yellow green and purple.  The vehicles are backhoe, garbage truck, bicycle, school bus and semi-truck.  On each page the child is asked to see each shape.  The last page has all the shapes and the child is asked to point to each one.  A note to parents and teachers says that the child can be asked to trace each shape and name the color of each vehicle.

I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
