This dear book is a great way to introduce shapes to our youngest children. Every page includes a few basic facts about shapes which, because of the rhyme scheme, fit naturally into the story. There are real world applications for the shapes too, such as balls and triangular mountains.

BEARS LOVE SQUARES
CARYL HART – Author
EDWARD UNDERWOOD – Illustrator
Triangles are tremendous, circles are sensational, but Bear loves squares …
Squares are nice and even.
Their corners are just so.
Squares are always just the same,
Any way they go.
“Bear ADORES squares. They are just… right. Turn them anyway you like and… still a square. Seriously, what’s not to like?!”
Can Raccoon convince his friend Bear that other shapes can be fun too? He’s got his work cut out because “triangles are too pointy” and “circles are too circley”, and Bear loves SQUARES!
No way…….. squares only! Until… he’s presented with a shape that even he can’t resist. I wonder if you can guess what it is?!
A gloriously colorful celebration of shapes, friendship and the power of seeing things from a different perspective.
