Join Trapezoid in this wildly amusing and unconventional shape concept book as he declares that he's a shape, not a dinosaur! Will Trapezoid be able to prove his worth and unique properties to become part of a play hosted by Triangle and the other shapes?
4.7In this space-themed play directed by Triangle, auditions are underway for various shapes to take on different roles. While Circle, Square, and Star confidently state their strengths, Trapezoid continuously tries to fit in but is overlooked by the others.
As the play is cast with Circle as the moon, Star as a shooting star, and Triangle combined with Square as the rocket, Trapezoid finds himself cast as a dinosaur. However, he rejects the role and saves the show with a dramatic entrance as the rocket booster, leading to a successful 'BLAST OFF!'
Throughout the story, the characters display good-natured camaraderie with plenty of wordplay. The colorful illustrations, resembling comics-style with expressive shapes, enhance the playful narrative set against a purple outer-space background.
A simple tale of accepting differences unfolds in the play, but the book also offers STEAM-powered elements as each shape describes its unique attributes with advanced concepts like parallel lines and right angles. The story encourages critical thinking and discussion with shape puns, making it a valuable resource for young readers.
Author Suzanne Morris's engaging storytelling and artwork, along with the interactive elements like a brief discussion on classifying shapes and a minicomic on parallel lines, enrich the overall reading experience. Ideal for educational purposes, this book is a solid addition to children's collections.
