Synopsis

An innovative board book design that lets toddlers place three chunky shapes into matching slots.

This bold, bright board book makes learning about shapes and first words endlessly fun. A chunky circle, triangle and rectangle attach to the book with colourful ribbons to create an engaging shape-sorter game, perfect for children from one to three years. The shapes slot into a die-cut on the page, with satisfying ease, completing a variety of images, from a rocket ship to a colourful butterfly.

Matching the shapes aids children in their fine motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination and problem-solving skills. Each spread also introduces popular first words, making this the ideal book to learn from while having fun.

Illustrated in vivid colour and effortless style by Polish artist Susie Hammer.
