My fun library find this week was Mouse Shapes
by Ellen Stoll Walsh. I checked it out to read to little man, because I thought that he'd enjoy the bright colors. He's a bit young for shape recognition, but I wanted to share the book with you, because I think it would be great for toddlers and preschoolers. If you have shape foam stickers or cut out shapes with construction paper, your child could do a quick and easy shape craft after reading or just use tangram shapes for creative play.

Go on a scavenger hunt in Shapes, Shapes, Shapes
by Tana Hoban. Look for arcs, circles, hearts, hexagons, ovals, diamonds, rectangles squares, stars, trapezoids, and triangles in this wordless picture book. After reading, do a real life hunt in your house, backyard or around the neighborhood!
