Shapes, Shapes, Shapes Paperback – Picture Book, March 29, 1996

This book is great for the visually motivated child - my son is 15 diagnosed with "severe" autism. The biggest challenge is getting his attention, this book did the trick! We talked about the different images in more detail than just the shapes, for example "purple house" and "soapy window" and "checkerboard shoes." The photos are a mixture of basic to a few more abstract but still familiar.I love Tana Hoban's photos because they help develop our awareness and appreciation of the beauty of what is around us everyday.

Great photos and no words is why I love this book. A small key at the beginning of the book, illustrates the types shapes. Hoban takes photos of small and large everyday objects, that have different shapes. Shapes, Shapes, Shapes teaches kids that shapes are everywhere. My kids walk down the street now and point out various shapes they see along the way. A cute and creative book, that helps children look at the world in a new way.

Tana Hoban's books are a different approach to a book experience between an adult and child. There are no words or text, but the introduction gives guidelines for using the book. The pages consist of beautiful, and unusual photographed images where the viewer can search for shapes in this case, or simply make up a story about it. I love these books for encouraging creative thinking.

This is a great book! It has wonderful pictures for children to explore. I used this book as an introductory review on shapes with my 1st graders. My students look at it over and over again trying to find new shapes in each picture.

This book is great for teaching shapes to little people. The pictures are engaging.

Not that many photos and not as rich in shapes as I had hoped. The photographs are somewhat interesting but nothing special.

I used this book during a shape lessons and it was awesome. The students really got into the book, identifying the shapes and pointing to the different shapes in the environment.

Great
