From circles to squares to rectangles and triangles, this introduction to shapes goes beyond the usual. The descriptive text, which highlights large, vivid illustrations, makes it easy to understand the concept of shapes. The sail of the boat is a triangle, the submarine is oval-shaped, the honeycomb has many hexagons, and the kite is diamond-shaped. Best of all is the heart that finishes this book, because everyone loves it!

Learning the alphabet has never been so much fun! Each spread features not just one but two, three, or four letters, and words that begin with them. These words—colored to stand out and catch the child’s eye—then appear in an amusing and delightfully illustrated sentence. A, B, C is for ant, berry, cat (“An ant carries a berry past a black cat”), while X, Y, and Z reveal that “A xylophone is played by a yak and a zebra.”

Learning begins at home, and these first words—from chair and clock to sink and soap to cookies and milk—present the everyday things kids encounter throughout the house. That makes it easy for parents to reinforce the lesson in a child’s most comfortable and secure environment. Britta Teckentrup’s pictures, with their geometric shapes and primary colors, have true kid-appeal.
