Which Is Round? Which Is Bigger?

Great book. Dynamic illustrations. Interactive text encourages discussion about visual differences with your toddler.

Childrens book for day care

This is a simple picture books for toddlers and preschool books that will delight young children with shape "tricks." It'll show a picture of an apple and an anteater, for instance (I think it's an anteater...hedgehog maybe?), and ask "Which is round?" Obviously the apple. But then on the next page, the apple will be bitten into and the armadillo will be curled into a ball. NOW which is round?It's cute and I like the way it not only teaches shapes and proportions, but it also challenges perception based on movement and changing positions. Very young children tend to create broad categories for the things around them (a ball is round, therefore all round things are balls; an apple is a fruit, therefore all fruits are apples...or balls) so this kind of "trick" will bring giggles to younger toddlers. It was a little young for my three-year-old, but she still enjoyed the pictures.Disclaimer: I received a digital galley of this book free from the publisher from NetGalley. I was not obliged to write a favourable review, or even any review at all. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.

This book contains a series of paired pictures, the first with an obvious comparison of two things, the second with some change that reverses the relationship. For example, one shows what I assume to be a goose (based on its size) towering over a peacock with the text "Which one is bigger?". But when you turn the page the peacock has spread his tail and the text says: "Which one is bigger? What do you think?" There are six such scenes.Translated from the original Japanese, this is a book to read to, and discuss with, a younger child. It introduces the idea that a concept like "bigger" can depend on how you look at it. The text is spare but the illustrations are cute. For the price a couple more scenes would have been nice, but overall a well done book.I was provided a copy for review by the publisher.

This book was great way to prompt DD3 to make comparisons between shapes and objects. The cute and funny title is an English translation from the original Japanese book. Toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy answering questions about objects, the answers at first seem obvious until the next page reveals a twist.

最初日本語版を買いましたが、英語版もあるようで、早速購入しました。親子で英語の勉強ができていいと思います。もちろん内容も良いです^^
