A very short and easy book about different shaped pebbles. In this book there are pebbles that look like numbers, humans, and animals.

teaches about different shapes
not a lot of words

Leo Lionni writes thoughtful, thought provoking books. This just happens to be one that didn't captivate my 3 and 5 year olds. The clever black and white drawings of pebbles on the shore just simply did not hold their attention or inspire them to look for all the symbols, etc. etched on the stones.

This does not mean that the book is uninspired by any means, only that it may not hold appeal for all children. You know your little ones, so purchase or not, accordingly. Or try it out at the library. ( )
