CREWS, DONALD
TEN BLACK DOTS

DODDS, DAYLE ANN
THE SHAPE OF THINGS

Bin #2

Until you add a roof,
Two windows and a door,
Then it's much, much more!
An introduction to the concept of shapes that make up the world around us.

HARSHMAN, MARC

MARUDU, TROTSKY
LINE AND CIRCLE = LINEA Y CIRCULO

Bin #1
English and Spanish
Here is a line. Here is a circle. The line and the circle meet. Together they have lots of fun making things. A great starting point for exploring shapes.
MICKLETHWAIT, LUCY
I SPY SHAPES IN ART

Bin #1
I spy with my little eye...a square, a heart, ten circles. Each magnificent painting in this book has a different shape for you to find -- some are easy, but some are difficult. And when you have found them all, there are lots of other interesting things to spot.

PIGGOT, DAWN
GREGORY AND THE MAGIC LINE
Bin #2
Gregory had a pencil, and in the pencil lived a magic line, and the line wanted to go for a walk. The line wanted to make straight lines and wiggly ones. It wanted to make circles and squares. It wanted to draw houses and streets and animals and people with funny faces. It wanted reds and blues and yelloes and greens. Faster and faster it drew -- until it drew Gregory right into the pictures. A wonderful story that explores the world of line, shape and colours and everything you need to make a painting.
REID, MARGARETTE S.
THE BUTTON BOX

Bin #1
An imaginative little boy explores the many pleasures that can be found in -- and made from -- his grandmother's button box.


SCHLEIN, MIRIAM
MORE THAN ONE

Bin 2
Explains how the number one can refer to a single itme, the two shoes in a pair, the seven days in a week, the twelve eggs in a dozen, all the trees in a forest, and much more.
SHEA, PEGI DEITZ
WEILL, CYNTHIA
TEN MICE FOR TET

Bin #1
This colourful counting book introduces children to the rich traditions of the Vietnamese new year. A village of playful mice lead young readers through the joyful celebration, as exquisitely embroidered illustrations recreate ten scenes of preparation, gift giving, feasting, and fireworks displays.
THONG, ROSEANNE
ROUND IS A MOONCAKE : A BOOK OF SHAPES

Bin #1
A little girl's urban neighbourhood becomes a discovery ground of things round, square and rectangular in this lyrical picture book. Most of the objects are Asian in origin, others universal: round rice bowls and a found pebble, square dim sum and the boxes that the pizzas come in, rectangular Chinese lace and a very special pencil case.
