About this ebook
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!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like this book because my hobby is reading girl
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The idea is good but, her books could be considered as cultural appropriation. I am Mexican and, I couldn't read this book to my Mexican Spanish-speaking students. Many things are not real or they are not real anymore. She has a little stereotypical view of Mexico. I will find a better one written by a Mexican/Mexican-American writter and I will share it here.
