This book is quite simple but that is good because it is for an age group that is just in the beginning of their educational experience and are trying to get down the basics of drawing and creativity. I enjoyed this book because it was so bright and colorful, the use of bold colors made it much more appealing to the eye. Also, I liked the set up of having the brief explanation on the first page about animals colors and the zoo, now make yours too. It made the rest of the book flow so easily and would help a child understand the point of the shapes and what they make on every page.

Book uses colors and shapes made from die-cut pages to show animal faces. Children can learn about geometrical shapes, about colors, and about animals. ( )

This is an interesting book that teaches kids about shapes, animals, and potentially color. My own children enjoyed the transition of the shapes and animals as each page with differently shaped holes are turned. The bold colors are attractive and each animal is illustrated with distinct characteristics. This would be a great way to reinforce or introduce colors and animals.

This book is a great way for children to learn their shapes, colors, and animals. As pages progress, the animals change into different animals using shapes. i would use this book for early childhood ages and i would use it to teach about shapes.

I would use this book in the classroom when teaching about shapes. It is great of the students to see the pages in full color and feel the shapes.

Book description
Lots of shapes and colors and animals in this book. It's a good book to look at, structurally, after "Go Away, Big Green Monster". I think some of the shapes the animals are forced into and some of the colors chosen end up being confusing for the preschool reader. This is not one of my favorite books to use for concepts.
Haiku summary
