I've reviewed a lot of children's learning books that teach the ABCs or how to count, but this is the first one that I've read that teaches geometric shapes. Knowing how difficult it can be even for computers to recognize shapes, I understand now why this can be a tricky subject for kids. But author Sharon Didi has incorporated learning the basic shapes into a kid's story where the tables are turned - young Max takes what he's learned about shapes in his kindergarten class and teaches his mom, who seems to have forgotten everything she learned in school.It's a nice story for preschool- and kindergarten-aged kids. The story and colorful illustrations should hold their interest, and they'll learn a bit of basic geometry.
