Books about Shapes
There are so many books that are such great reads for our child. Reading to and with your child will help them learn so much about the world, build their imagination and confidence in their own abilities. As a former teacher, I have found so many great ways to get books for my classroom and my own children. Some of my favorite place to get books are at garage sales and thrift stores. I also love getting books at my local library. Don't overlook Amazon and Scholastic Book orders from your child's school.
