Book Description
for Shapes, Shapes, Shapes by Tana Hoban
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A variety of shapes appear in 29 full-color photographs of city scenes. Hoban's artistic sense imposes order on a seemingly disorderly world. She has a remarkable ability to pull concepts out of the concrete world so that the young child, after viewing her book, may begin to look at the outside world and impose his or her own order upon it. Honor Book, 1986 CCBC Caldecott Discussion. (Ages 3-6)
