Circle Rolls
I love picture books with minimalist illustrations. They show learners that art doesn’t have to be incredibly complex in order to have meaning! Your students will love following Circle as she rolls through the story, causing havoc with other shapes along the way. This is a great one to reinforce all the new 2D shape vocabulary you’re teaching!
Triangle (Shape Trilogy)
Find me a child who won’t be drawn to the cover of this book, I dare you! All kidding aside, your students are going to want to read all 3 stories in this trilogy about shapes filled with mischief. Content alert: some reviewers were concerned that the actions of the shapes were setting a bad example- but for me, that just means a great opportunity to discuss right and wrong behaviors!
