Part Sandra Boynton, part Each Peach Pear Plum; part Chicka Chicka
Boom Boom, part Hippopposites--a treat for the brain and the
tongue.
With an elegant and simple approach, this thought-provoking concept book
shows young readers that everything in the world can be seen from
infinite perspectives.
Each page compares colors, shapes, and objects in relation to each
other. A triangle that is over a square is also under a circle. A circle
that is pink also might be a flower.
The artful, playful combinations of simple concepts and Higgins's
rhythmic writing and expert arrangement of objects on the page make this
book a perfect read-aloud, capable of entertaining, educating, and
challenging readers in equal measure.
There are multiple ways to read the book, allowing it to work for
several ages and reading levels at once. The educational value and sheer
fun packed into this book's language and visual design will make it a
huge hit with educators and librarians, new parents, and creative kids
who are visual learners.
This striking, delightfully different exploration of shape, color, and
patterns redefines what a picture book can be. Read it once, read it ten
times. See something new every time.
A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO MANY DIFFERENT CONCEPTS: This book's focus on
color, shapes, objects, and relative words like "over," "under," and
"next to" make this the perfect introduction to basic concepts of all
kinds. Rather than traditional concept books that focus on only one
idea, this book combines its teaching approach, helping young readers
learn more than one concept at once by showing how they relate to each
other.
A DYNAMIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE: The unusual combination of colors,
shapes, and animals intelligently introduces young readers to patterns,
classification, and problem-solving. The imaginative language of this
book, rich with rhythmic phrasing and a tongue twister-like playfulness,
creates a soothing read-aloud text that engages young children with
questions and encourages audience participation.
PERFECT FOR ANY KIND OF EDUCATION: With a variety of concepts, clear
read-aloud qualities, and the many different ways this book engages
different styles of learning, this book is ideal for librarians,
educators, and anyone creating reading events in their communities.
