What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focused on early childhood development and cognitive categorization.
Ideal Reader
A curious 12 to 24 month old who is starting to develop fine motor skills and enjoys tactile feedback. It is especially suited for children who are beginning to verbalize names of objects and are ready for basic classification games.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents should be prepared to guide the child's finger along the edges of the shapes to reinforce the tactile learning aspect. A parent might choose this after seeing their child struggle to fit a block into a shape sorter or noticing the child's fascination with the wheels on a stroller or the square shape of a window.
