K-3Shapes Are Fun! series.
These books for very young beginning readers introduce different shapes, each one discussing a shape's properties and providing examples of the particular shape around us. Stock photos show the shape highlighted in different settings, from a circular pizza to hexagon-shaped tiles to triangular bridge supports. The presentation is formulaic; the simplistic texts are undemanding. A counting game concludes each volume. Glos., ind. Review covers these Shapes Are Fun! titles: Circles, Hexagons, Ovals, Rectangles, Squares, and Triangles.
