When a line bends--a shape begins Book

This picture book does a wonderful job demonstrating how lines build different shapes and describing the important features that make these shapes. The author provides examples of the various shapes we see and applies them to the real world. The illustrations are colorful and bring the text to life. By using words to describe the various shape features, and images that express the features, children are able to make a connection and reinforce their understanding of shape identification. This book would be a wonderful addition to a classroom library, especially in the earlier grades when children begin learning about shapes and recognizing shapes.
