Shapes And Colors

Prepare to be amazed as two teams of Colors and Shapes compete for the top prize at a spectacular talent show! Which team deserves the spotlight? Colors can really mix it up, but nobody stacks higher than Shapes. How will the judges ever pick a winner? Ultimately, author-illustrator Mike Boldt reveals the amazing things that can happen when Colors and Shapes come together. A follow-up to 123 versus ABC, this zany picture book is a fun introduction to simple but important concepts, and a stepping-stone to basic geometry.

Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac follows the antics of four-year-old Alice Otterloop as she navigates her way through her suburban town and life's ups and downs at Blisshaven Preschool. More than half of our nation's population resides in the burbs, and suburbanites everywhere will easily recognize Cul de Sac's tree-lined streets, big-box retail stores, and kiddy crunchy cereals, along with the revealing backseat conversations between Alice and her brother. Thompson's paintbrush captures humorously poignant and reflectively thoughtful watercolor scenes that offer commentary on life and how we choose to live it. Appearing in more than 100 newspapers, Cul de Sac has garnered Thompson critical praise from both the National Cartoonists Society and the Society of Illustrators.

Turn the pages and you will see how fun colors and shapes can be. Find what you seek, and when you are through, you will discover what to do. Shake and spin, jump and bend, then run to share this with a friend. ***** STEM: Combines early math shape exploration with physical activity. Identify the shapes, move as instructed, then observe how the shapes have changed as a result. ***** This interactive concept book combines physical activity, simple science (cause and effect, force and motion, gravity), and early math by showing us a unique way to celebrate the wonder of colors, shapes, and our bodies in motion. Imagination is required! Children are naturally curious. They build a strong foundation of early math skills every day through natural discoveries and exposure to simple math in their environment: through interactions, relationships, activities, and play. Supported in this book: Identifying geometric shapes - STEM Concepts - Comparing and contrasting objects - Using spatial reasoning - Pattern recognition - Analyzing change - Identifying colors ---- Visit AbridgeClub.com for more details, questions or concerns. This book is not just about finding colors and shapes and using motor skills; there are hidden gems on each page that offer children an opportunity to discuss and explore STEM concepts further with simple experiments. Make children feel like experts by asking "what" questions such as...-- "What shapes do you see?" -- "What else do you see on the page?" -- "What happened to the shapes after you jumped up?" For older children, ask open-ended questions that encourage critical thinking. "Why do you think the shapes moved the way they did?" and "What do you think will happen next?" In every case, support children in predicting what might happen next, observing what happened, and then stating what they see in their observation. Does the result match their prediction? These initial steps lay the foundation for scientific inquiry. Visit www.AbridgeClub.com for "Talking Points" and suggestions for open-ended questions.
