Shapes, Size and Counting - Sorting Colors - Beginning Reader #readaloud

I Love the 3 S's: Shapes, Size, Sorting!

With the Extra Add-on, Counting!

    As a Teacher

    This is a lovely book that contains many ways of learning wrapped up into one work of art. I know it's a book, but it's also considered art in my personal opinion. Can art become math! Of course and in this jewel of an aid for learning, it is a keeper. In fact, I may try to emulate what this author has done in another book idea I want to develope.

    But why, you ask, is this one so great!  Three reasons come to mind... First, it is simple in style. The creatures for example are basic shapes, with basic colors, with different sizes. Numerous blends of pertinent question can be asked, for example; An owl is a square that has one primary color. A snail is a circle, with a secondary color. A whale is a blue triangle. Rudimentary shapes, colors, etc. make for simplistic form and easy likability for the young in mind.  Secondly, there aren't so many words filling up the page.  Beginning readers, sounding out one or two words.  Thirdly, this is a book intended for beginning geometry ie; shapes, size, and how they can be sorted, small, medium, large. Fourthly, because I just thought of it... is because it is mathematical. It sings; count me, design me, color me, sort!
