I wanted something to help my daughter with her colors and her shapes. Since she loved Barney, I knew that this would be perfect...and I was right.
She asks me to read it for her every night, and read again. Now she has memorized parts and pretends to read it to me.
It has really helped us with the shapes because it uses name association like Sidney the Square.

I recommend this book for parents who want to incorporate active learning with reading time.

This is an excellent book! My 2 year old learned all his shapes after I read this book to him a few times. He is a quick learner, but overall I am pleased with the colorful pages and pictures. After reading this book and learning his shapes I hear him pointing to objects that represents the shapes and saying "circle...square...oval" I'm so glad I purchased this book! It's great quality so it'll last a long time!

This book does a wonderful job of teaching shapes. Each page introduces a new shape playing in the park, while all the other shapes are having fun in the background. All the shapes are different colors, have rhyming names, and are busy doing different activities. Therefore this book not only teaches the names of shapes, but colors and actions as well.
