The Wing on a Flea

by Ed Emberley

Book Overview

The Wing On A Flea is the very first book Ed Emberley wrote and illustrated, published in 1962.

This lovely book of line drawings about basic shapes and what they could become foreshadowed his later, well-known how-to-draw series of books. Upon its release, The Wing On A Flea was named one of the New York Times' 10 best illustrated books of the year and was an ALA Notable Book. AMMO is delighted to reissue this...

Customer Reviews

Exceptional book about shapes!

This book has bold, eye-catching pictures and wonderful rhyming text. I read this to a preschool class and they loved it. It can serve as an intro or review of shapes and also as a way to show how to put simple shapes together to make more complex pictures. At the end, there's a section that emphasizes how to put shapes together to make a picture, such as a clown.
