Spot's First Shapes

Spot the Dog

by Eric Hill

Spot shows off his knowledge of shapes in this bright, bold board book. Each spread illustrates objects young children will love to identify, along with a different touchy-feely element to engage tactile interaction. These are the perfect way for little ones to learn their concepts while following their favorite yellow puppy.

This book combines the textures of the 'That's Not My...' series with the beloved characters from Spot. Therefore, it was a great hit with my daughter.

This book follows Spot the Puppy as he explores shapes. It is an incredbily simple narrative with few words per page, in clear, large text. The edition I reviewed had touch and feel elements, which encouraged the reader to feel the shape and experience it with their fingertips. It was, for the most part, a setup that would be easy to clean, and in rich, generally primary colors that appealed to my son.

I could see using this book from pre-k to 1st grade. The limited words per page and the tactile associations help with building associations for those still learning about the mechanics of text.
