3-dimensional shapes are named and described in a story about a boy and his dog pretending to be on a space adventure but their use in the story is very contrived. Example: when they go thru a meteor shower, they use the cube since "The radar beams from our directional cube will help us find a path to safety. Good thing the 6 square faces of the cube are working properly." About all you can expect from this book is a picture of 6 3-D objects and their names - not related in any way to where they really occur in the real world. I think my 5 year old, who likes space stuff was about as bored as I was.
Set in a comic book format, this book has been a favorite of my 4 year old son since we bought it. A very simple book, and very appropriate for preschoolers. The writing is a little lame at one point, but my son doesn't care and thoroughly enjoys this book ( and he's learned some simple math concepts without realizing he's been taught).
I recently used this book as an introduction to geometry and the students loved it. We created substations and worked together as different color-coded crews as Mission Control Mathematicians. The students were engaged with the story of Captain Invincible and loved the ending!
The comic book format was a real hit with my kinders. They also got to review 2-D & 3-D shapes as I read this. The pictures are bright & colorful. Great read-aloud or book that the kids can do along with you using manipulatives.
My daughter is using these to teach a preschool class at a school and they have been wonderful and incredibly useful We bought a number of the books and each one is well done and interesting to the kids.
For your little reader, this is a comic book about a little boy space hero, up past his bedtime. For moms and dads, this book introduces 3-D geometric shapes (spheres, cylinders, etc) and launches you into finding similar shapes around the house.
1. I love the book, it's a great way to introduce 3D shapes.2. The shipping arrived on-time.3. I had no problems with the seller or the product! Thank you.
I used this as part of my 3d shapes lesson during an observation. The boys in my LOVED this and it's comic book like style. It was a great reinforcement to our introduction on shapes.
