The scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori informed a revolution
in education that continues today, 100 years later. Montessori
schools focus on hands-on learning with specifically designed
materials that allow students to understand the world through
methodical and self-directed work. According to Montessori, play is
work and the explorations of children are what ultimately lead to
learning and understanding. As with all things Montessori, students
begin with the concrete and move to the abstract. When learning
shapes, students first develop an understanding of the spatial
object, the comparison between shapes and a relevant application
for each shape before learning the names. Inspired by this process
and the associated classroom materials (trays of various shapes,
grouped by family), Montessori: Shape Work will offer readers
die-cut shapes to trace with their fingers, grouped by family for
comparison, and illustrated into a familiar object for relevancy.
Featured shapes: 3 triangles (equilateral, isosceles, right); 3
rounds (circle, oval, ellipse); 3 parallelograms (square,
rectangle, rhombus); 3 polygons (pentagon, hexagon, octagon).
Baby Touch: Shapes is part of Ladybird's best-selling Baby Touch series, designed to help stimulate a baby's senses from birth. Encouraging interaction and play, the Baby Touch books are lots of fun for the very youngest babies, as well as toddlers.
Baby Touch: Shapes is a bold, bright board book perfect for little hands to explore. With a big touch-and-feel on every double page, it helps to stimulate your baby's senses as well as gently helping to teach first shapes such as square, circle, triangle, star and rectangle.

Whether you're big or little, learning about opposites has never
been more fun - or funny - than with this winning board book.
Ladies are big, but ladybugs are little. Amiably illustrated in a
bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli's spirited board book, BIG
LITTLE, stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who
acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect.
How big is a crocodile? What about a tiger, or the world's largest
spider? Can you imagine a tongue that is two feet long or an eye
that's bigger than your head? Sometimes facts and figures don't
tell the whole story. Sometimes you need to see things for
yourself--at their actual size.
