Pick A Circle, Gather Squares: A Fall Harvest Of Shapes Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Fall is here, with all its wonderful visual delights--not just colors, but shapes! This clever concept book follows a family on a trip to a pumpkin patch and invites children to pick out shapes from the seasonal scenery--apple bushel circles, square hay bales, diamond kites in the autumn sky! Felicia Sanzari Chernesky's sweet verses are perfectly complemented by Susan Swan's gorgeous collage-inspired art.

We were simply amazed at how many shapes our five-year-old was able to find (that we, her parents, weren't!). And, to our astonishment, our child began reading along with us about halfway through the book, picking out the bolded words "box," "eggs," and even "rectangle." (We were further astonished when she informed us that all squares are rectangles, but that not all rectangles are squares.)The organizational pattern of this book is a sheer delight. Categorizing all the farm and barnyard stuff in terms of their shapes was brilliant. Even harder, I suspect, was finding a way to *write* about that strategy in a way that children would understand. But Swan and Chernesky have pulled it off with considerable aplomb.Read through this book with your kindergartener and then watch as they begin picking out shapes in the world around them. Ovals and hexagons abound, I was surprised to find out!
I bought this book to instruct and excite my children about the fall season. It captures the atmosphere and activity at a pumpkin patch so well and reminds them of our family trips to the farm every fall.My 2 year old daughter and 4 year old son like the rhyming - and I do too, because it's so easy to read aloud. My son especially loves searching for the shapes in the colorful, full-page illustrations.During fall, I'm keeping this book out in the family room as part of the décor - the cover is that beautiful, as you can see. After Thanksgiving, I'll pack it away with our other fall books so we can all enjoy it again next year.
The educational value this book offers, as well as the wonderful storyline, has quickly made this book a household favorite! We have all fallen in love with the story, and the beautiful and colorful illustrations! Can't wait to see what is next for this author!
My 2 year old son loves this book. The illustrations are beautiful and my son loves identifying the shapes on each page. We read it several times a day. It challenges children to be creative and to observe their environments!
Although this is a beautiful colorful illustrated book the story is not inspiring. The shapes to be focused on are difficult for young children to find in the item filled illustrations. I like the minimal text and focus on a farm.
