Eiko Ojala.
In this dual-purpose concept book, short perky rhymes link twelve shapes to typical month-specific activities: a heart in February, a baseball diamond in June, etc. Two children and a dog demonstrate each activity. Some associations are forced and the rhyme sometimes falters, but cheerful solid-color illustrations, embellished with eye-catching three-dimensional shading, ably support the concept.
