From the creative team behind the beautiful Big Words for Little People series, Maths Words for Little People: Shapes provides a perfect introduction to (you’ve guessed it…) shapes.
Presented in a lovely, durable, square hardback format, it begins by sharing the fact that shapes are everywhere, inviting little ones to notice shapes for themselves. Concepts like straight, flat, 2D, 3D, curved, tessellated and sequences are clearly explained and demonstrated in a relatable style, with Cristina Trapanese’s characterful, child-centred illustrations making it a joy to explore shapes together.
Top tip for adults – flip to the back of the book to find out how to make the most of this little beauty.
