The Shape of Me and Other Stuff: Dr. Seuss's Surprising Word Book description
Subtitled "Dr. Seuss's Surprising Word Book," The Shape of Me and Other Stuff certainly lives up to its billing. In this delightful book, first published in 1973, kids are encouraged to ponder shapes they may never have considered before: "Just think about the shape of beans and flowers and mice and big machines!" Dr. Seuss's illustrations are in silhouette (for the purpose of accenting the outlines of figures), but are nonetheless up to par with his usual wacky, amusing style. Soaring well beyond the mundane arena of circles, triangles, and squares, here we are challenged to consider "the shape of camels … the shape of bees and the wonderful shapes of back door keys!" Kids will love the silly rhymes and funny pictures, and parents will appreciate this original take on the largely untapped world of shapes. (Baby to preschool) |

The perfect first book
|
This was one of the first books I purchased for my son. As a small infant (1-3 months old) he would get bored with other books, but the shapes and bright colors in this book kept him interested. It was the only book he'd pay attention to until he was 4 or 5 months old.
Even now, at the age of 11 months, it's his favorite. It is short and the shapes captivate very young babies and toddlers alike. When he's grumpy, this is my go to book to make him happy. He likes the fact that there are not too many words on the pages, and he'll turn the pages himself. With wordier books, he'll get bored and turn the page long before I'm finished reading.
I'm not sure this would be a great book to purchase for an older toddler, but I would make sure to add this to any infant's book collection. |
