Publisher's Summary:
In this humorous look at shapes, Brian P. Cleary and Brian Gable introduce circles, ovals, triangles, squares, and rectangles. The comical cats of the wildly popular Words Are CATegorical series explain how to identify each shape and provide loads of examples. Peppy rhymes and kid-friendly examples make shaping up a snap!
Members Reviews:
This is an easy, zany way to identify the elements of five basic shapes and learn to compare and contrast them!
A shape is "the form or outline of an object." They can be easy to name if you just know what you are looking for. In this book you will learn all about circles, squares, rectangles, ovals and triangles and their specific qualities. It's very easy once you've seen them, know what they are all about and have seen many examples. You will learn that "A rectangle has four sides and four corners" and that "The corners are right angles." But, when those wacky cats and monkey get out their rulers, smile, wave and really show you what a rectangle is all about, you're going to SNAP! ... understand what one is in a minute and have a smile wider than a monkey's!
"If two side were smaller
and the other two taller,
a rectangle is what you'd call it.
It's the shape of this doorway,
this postcard from Norway,
this screen,
and a check and this wallet.
Like a square, only wider,
this billboard for cider
is rectangular
in its shape.
Like a square, only taller,
so is the wall or
the frame for this fine
painted ape."
For some children the ability to learn basic geometric shapes can be very difficult. This type of book is a real boon to the visual and/or auditory learner; one will benefit from the wonderfully zany illustrations in this book and the other will benefit from the fun and kooky rhymes. By the time a youngster gets through with this book, he or she should be able to identify the elements of five basic geometric shapes and have the ability to compare and contrast one with the other with ease. This is the first "Math Is Categorical" book I've read by Brian Cleary and I'm hooked. I've loved of any of his "Words Are Categorical" had the privilege to meet and highly recommend them to any parent of a reluctant learner. Any Cleary book would be a welcome addition to any homeschool or classroom shelf!
