In this lively picture book, children discover a world of shapes all around them: rectangles are ice-cream carts and stone metates , triangles are slices of watermelon and quesadillas . Many of the featured objects are Latino in origin, and all are universal in appeal. With rich, boisterous illustrations, a fun-to-read rhyming text, and an informative glossary, this playful concept book will reinforce the shapes found in every child's day!
