Three-dimensional (3-D) shapes have three dimensions--length, width, and height. These shapes are solids that are found in buildings and structures as well as in nature. Some 3-D shapes are prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and spheres.

Shapes around the World is a Fun informative book, where children can learn how to say all their favourite shapes in a variety of languages. Shapes around the world features shapes in English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and German.

Focusing on shapes, this is one of a series exploring issues of interest to children in Africa, and designed to introduce students to reading non-fiction for pleasure and information.

Identify three-dimensional shapes all around the world! This vibrant title gives readers practice identifying familiar shapes like cones, cylinders, pentagons, polygons, and prisms, while familiarizing them with STEM themes and more advanced geometry concepts. Children will learn more about vertices, symmetry, and bases. With each shape, this book gives readers information about an example of the shape, be it a building, a honeycomb, or a tree trunk! With an accessible glossary, clear mathematical diagrams, practical examples, and easy-to-read text, readers will have all the tools they need to improve their geometry skills and find shapes on their own!

There is a lot to learn when you are beginning school. The alphabet with all 26 letters, how the letter sounds and how to write them, your name, address, your parents' names, your numbers and colors. I realize looking back at my educational life that shapes are the foundation and if learned, will be applied in advanced math and geometry. I was requested by educators to produce a book on shapes and next will be colors. Why? Representation matters and if young people are attracted to the images in this book because they look like them, then hopefully the ability to grasp, learn and retain these basic geometric shapes will be applied and take them far in their academic careers. Enjoy!
