My First Shape Sorter Book [With Chunky Cardboard Shapes to Place in Holes]

Lee Vietro, F. Aria. innovative KIDS, $14.99 (10pp) ISBN 978-1-58476-170-9

In a similar vein, My First Shape Sorter Book by Lee Vietro, illus. by Farah Aria, prompts youngsters to ""put the dirty clothes in the wash,"" toys in the toy chest and more. The left-hand side models what should go where (e.g., ""The ball is a circle"" corresponds with the circular transparent opening in the toy chest), and the pieces slide through a column that opens at the bottom of the page, to the proper spot. When play is done, the pieces may be stored in a handy drawer, visible at the bottom of each die-cut page.
