Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Judy Chernak
The bright primary colors of these computer generated pictures help to center attention on the various shapes associated with familiar circus sights. The pictures are arresting, completely covering the pages, which have only a line or two of text so that it's easy to spot the triangles, circles, squares and rectangles among the wagons, lions, clowns and the rest. The book ends with elementary counting questions to cement the lessons learned and an activity section for more fun. Part of the HarperTrophy "MathStart" paperback series, Level 1.
School Library Journal
PreS-KA book that teaches shape recognition cloaked in a story about a circus performance. Circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles are introduced on every other spread. The illustrations are very simple and linear, allowing children to identify the various shapes that appear in the pictures. Unfortunately, although Miller uses bold, primary colors, the illustrations lack the excitement and movement associated with a circus. The text is dry and forced in some spots, such as "Some monkeys make a square. The four sides are all the same." However, the straightforward narrative does make the information accessible. More visually attractive books on the topic include Lois Ehlert's Color Zoo (1989) and Circus (1992, both HarperCollins), and Tana Hoban's Shapes, Shapes, Shapes (Greenwillow, 1986).Lisa Gangemi Krapp, Sousa Elementary School, Port Washington, NY
