Welcome to the Museum of Shapes. Every day, new shapes arrive at the museum—some are pointy, some are round, and some are wobbly or slanted. Alma is putting together an exhibition about the many different shapes that make up the world around us. This colorful book not only introduces a variety of shapes, but also shows how an exhibition is created. As they read and look around, children are invited to take part and join in. Interactive texts and inspiring illustrations cast a whole new light on the beauty of geometry.
