[The Collective Book Studio]A cute hedgehog curls into a circular ball, a diamond-shaped stingray glides across the ocean floor, and a young praying mantis watches the world through the wide eyes in its triangular head. Filled with colorful, eye-catching photos of baby animals in their natural surroundings and paired with playful rhymes, Baby Animals First Shapes will instill a love of nature while teaching children all about shapes. Sized perfectly for curious little hands to hold, children will delight in learning from a wide array of creatures in the Baby Animals First series. The series expands with age, as young children will be attracted to the tactile cover and vibrant photographs, while older kids will engage with the rhyming text that teaches early learning concepts. PRAISE FOR THE SERIES: “Charming and educational in one joyful package” —School Library Journal
