My 15 month old loves this book. It has a story line of Winnie-the-Pooh's birthday party, and uses gifts to show the shapes. The pictures are colorful. My daughter usually brings this book to me on a daily basis for me to read to her. I don't mind reading this one for the 50th time. It makes learning fun for her.

I absolutely adore this series of books for my children. They are bright and colorful, and teach very simply. The size is convienent and they will fit in a purse or pocket to take on the go.

The books are well made and it took a solid year of abuse from my daughter to finally end up with a book that only needs some taping to put it back together. For my money they are worth it!

"There's a party today for Winnie the Pooh! Let's tag along and learn shapes, too!" This sweet little board book captures babies attention with a pleasantly rhythmic beat while teaching shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, heart, oval, diamond, and star. The illustrations are charming and appeal to young children, however, the text does not reference the individual shapes as a reinforcing teaching tool. For instance, the word SQUARE is placed next to the "square shaped blocks", but does not appear in the text itself. Emphasizing the word to the shape facilitates better learning, and the reason why this book receives a three star review. "Shapes," is not my favorite in the Learn and Grow Board Book series, however, the images are charming, and the prose is pleasing. Birth and up.

As a recommendation, Julie Aigner-Clark's, "See and Spy Shapes" by The Baby Einstein Company is an excellent book for teaching shapes.
