There’s all the fun of the fair to be enjoyed in this clever, entertaining picture book, and lots to learn too. ‘Have you seen my monster?’ asks a little girl. He’s already at the fair and can be spotted on every page, on a ride, looking at the sideshows, even joining in with the band. Detailed pen and ink drawings make this absorbing to look at while one bright colour on each spread picks out a (labelled) shape, from the familiar (square, triangle, rhombus) to the more exotic (trapezoid, curvilinear triangle, decagon). Finally, little girl and monster are reunited and walk home hand in hand, under a crescent moon. A quirky, stylish way to teach children shapes. ~ Andrea Reece
