Illustrated by
Susie Poole.
Babies at a party celebrate with shapes: one wears a triangle party hat, one gives a square gift, another plays with a rectangular block, and they all sit in a circle. The minimal (if bland) text with its repeated refrain ("clap for the baby") and brightly patterned illustrations featuring generically diverse, round-headed tykes combine early experiences--clapping, shapes--at just the right pace.
