Who knew shapes could be so much fun?
Respected art professor IVAN BRUNETTI still remembers the fun he had playing with shapes as a kid. In the hands of the author/artist of Wordplay, 3x4, and Comics: Easy as ABC, shapes explode, divide, and multiply, offering young readers a basic yet exciting art and math lesson. Kids will laugh as they learn while seeing the world differently.
The book includes:
- Brightly coloured illustrations
- Early learning and understanding of the world around them
- Clear and concise educational practices to improve knowledge
Brunetti deftly highlights the nature and logic of shapes, laying a foundation for geometry and illustration for readers of all ages!
