Round is a Mooncake: A Book of Shapes by Roseanne Thong
PreSchool-K-This concept book prompts children to look at circles, squares, and rectangles through the eyes of a Chinese girl. The rhyming text describes things like dim sum, inking stones, lucky money, and an abacus as they relate to the various shapes. The last page defines unfamiliar terms. The rhymes, at times perfectly structured but sometimes somewhat forced, lack a consistent beat, which makes this a challenging read-aloud." The illustrations, brilliantly coloured gouache paintings outlined in black, are large, crisp, and inviting. A useful purchase for young patrons interested in Chinese culture. Linda M.
