What better way to learn shapes than by drawing them? A hot air balloon and a car are already drawn on the page, children just have to fill in their missing circles. From there, they are encouraged to draw anything they like shaped like a circle.

By the end of the book, kids have learned about shapes and have a book full of artwork to enjoy—or erase and start again!
