Genre: informational
Reading level: K-2

This is an informational book that in my option is done very well. It includes the basic information on shapes but does it tastefully and in a way that is still interesting. I enjoyed how many real life examples and pictures were used throughout the book. That helps a lot in applying the information to real life. This would be a great book to use in a classroom when introducing shapes. I would definitely include this in my future classroom library.

Beware, there's a happy clown on the last page.

For those not afraid of clowns, it's a fine book for thinking about shapes and finding them around us.
