Caldecott Honoree Suse MacDonald takes on the concept of shapes in this new picture book. MacDonald uses bright colors, shapes, and die-cut pages to entertain children as she teaches about shapes. With each turn of the page, a new shape is introduced. The addition of each shapes slowly turns the page into a creature - a final three-page spread of a Brachiosaurus. Fans of Ed Emberly's books, especially his superb die-cut book, Go Away, Big Green Monster!, will quickly note the resemblances. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, admirers of Emberly's work should be pleased with this result.
