    About this audiobook

    In this lively picture book, children discover a world of shapes all around them: rectangles are ice-cream carts and stone metates, triangles are slices of watermelon and quesadillas. Many of the featured objects are Latino in origin, and all are universal in appeal. With rich, boisterous illustrations, a fun-to-read rhyming text, and an informative glossary, this playful concept book will reinforce the shapes found in every child's day!

      What a great shape book that makes use of some Spanish vocabulary words. The book uses familiar universal items to illustrate different shapes found in everyday life. Bonus points for the glossary in the back that makes it a point to say that a tortilla is something different in Spain.

      Learning about shapes and some Spanish, too.
