Wing on a Flea: A Book About Shapes

Ed Emberly wrote and illustrated this book showing how shapes like rectangles, triangles, and circles are all around us "if we just look and see." Using cut outs of two sizes of circles, rectangles, and triangles, the kindergarten students put together their own pictures. When they were done, had shared with others at their tables, the put the shapes in back into the middle of the table and made something else. Judging from the giggles and the patterns, a good time was had by all.
