Allen & Unwin of Shapes book English 16 pages

Learn all about the everyday shapes around you with this colourful picture-and-word book.

This is a first shapes book with a difference. The wonderful world of the talented Sarah Dyer is laid out in gorgeous organized chaos for the joy of young readers. Each page is scattered with objects that little ones will love pointing out and naming, including circle-shaped things (clock, frying pan, ladybird spots) and square-shaped things (window, building blocks, a cracker). Sarah's funky illustrations and playful sense of humour will see The Book of Shapes becoming an instant hit for toddlers and parents alike.

Sarah Dyer was born in Brighton in 1978. Her first book (Five Little Fiends) won the Bronze Smarties prize and the UK Reading Award. The Book of Things will be her first non-fiction book. When Sarah is not illustrating, she teaches Illustration at the universities of Kingston and Middlesex.
