(3) K-3 SandCastle: 3-D Shapes series. Sized for small hands, each book starts with a definition and diagram of its subject, then introduces math terms like apex and base. Seven real-world examples follow (e.g., "Kelly has fun blowing bubbles. Bubbles are sphere shaped"), with the brief text reinforced by a crisp color photograph on the opposite page. Final activities encourage readers to identify and draw each shape. Glos. Review covers these SandCastle: 3-D Shapes titles: What in the World is a Cone?, What in the World is a Cube?, What in the World is a Cylinder?, What in the World is a Prism?, What in the World is a Pyramid?, and What in the World is a Sphere?
