Description
Book SynopsisAn instructive look-and-point book about shapes. For children ages 3 years and up.
Worm is in shape. He comes across shapes everywhere: circles, squares, triangles . . . even a star! He can also imitate the shapes with his long body. Can you see them all?
Trade Review"“Time for morning gymnastics. That’s how Worm stays in good shape.” Emerging from beneath a book, a pink earthworm with a large round eyeball guides readers on a daylong shape-spotting excursion. To introduce each form, the flexible invertebrate contorts itself, twisting into a circle, square, triangle, heart, and bedtime-suitable star, while everyday examples of the shapes feature on the facing page (a sun and fried egg depict circles; dice and hopscotch represent squares, and so on). Associated queries prompt engagement (“All of these hearts are found in nature. Which do you like best?”), and a light seek-and-find effect emphasizing the shape in question enlivens jaunty scenes (a whale with a heart-shaped tail spouts cordiform spray). More workbook than story, this translation from the Dutch offers a bright-eyed view of geometric forms." -
