Alphonse is a Pleasure

This book is a charming and hilarious way to expose kids to shapes. It is short and sweet and I have been reading it to preschool classes for 8 years and they love it.

Fun to read aloud- one a few Valentine Books for young child

This book is great fun to read to 3-6 year olds. It reinforces knowledge of shapes and displays a sense of humor. It is essential to practice reading the book before reading aloud. My kindergarten students loved it! Some students memorized it, "reading" every page with expression! It is a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day!
