With detailed illustrations, this conceptual book provides young readers with a playful, geometric adventure in a fun world of shapes.

Shapes provide space and offer boundaries, allowing kids to let their imagination run wild and watch all the shapes come to life. In this captivating book, children will enter a world of shapes and imagination to learn about geometry. Using the following basic geometric shapes as a foundation...

  • Circle
  • Triangle
  • Square
  • Rectangle
  • Oval
  • Trapezium

...children will experience an array of colourful and detailed illustrations that feature various structures and locations, such as:

  • Ferris wheel
  • Spiral staircase
  • Roundabout
  • Whirlpool
  • Telescope
  • Velodrome
  • Maze
  • Bed
  • House
  • Soccer field
  • Swimming pool
  • Town square
  • Attic
  • Tent
  • Pyramid
  • Mountain
  • Sailing boat
  • Castle

A representative example is:

The tent looks like a triangle

A triangle in a backpack? That must be a tent! Packed on your back, it travels the world with you. And when you get tired of walking, you just take it off. And there it is... A whole home squeezed into a triangle. Small but cozy, you can fit in everything you need! You, your friend, your things, especially your essential map.

The illustrations are packed with interesting details, entertaining situations, and plenty of things to discover. There is even a little search-and-find game throughout the book where children can look for a hidden teddy bear on each spread. Along the way, children will be able to recognise shapes quickly and easily, while having lots of fun doing so.

This unique approach to storytelling stimulates children's imagination while helping them to uncover new levels of perception. Not only will they learn about basic shapes, but they will also improve their visual perception and attention to detail.

With this book, children will recognise shapes quickly and easily and have lots of fun along the way. With its whimsical illustrations, Shapescapes is sure to capture the hearts and minds of young readers aged 3 to 6, making this an ideal book for any child who loves to learn and have fun at the same time. The illustrations are enchanting and will keep children engaged for hours.
