Editorial Review:
Subtitled "Dr. Seuss's Surprising Word Book," The Shape of Me and Other Stuff certainly lives up to its billing. In this delightful book, first published in 1973, kids are encouraged to ponder shapes they may never have considered before: "Just think about the shape of beans and flowers and mice and big machines!" Dr. Seuss's illustrations are in silhouette (for the purpose of accenting the outlines of figures), but are nonetheless up to par with his usual wacky, amusing style. Soaring well beyond the mundane arena of circles, triangles, and squares, here we are challenged to consider "the shape of camels
the shape of bees and the wonderful shapes of back door keys!" Kids will love the silly rhymes and funny pictures, and parents will appreciate this original take on the largely untapped world of shapes. (Baby to preschool)
Illus. in full color.

Rating:  - Entertaining
As with all Dr. Suess books, this one keeps you entertained. My little granddaughter (6) said, "Nana this rhymes!" Bright isn't she?
Rating: - I love it, baby loves it!
We got this book off our baby registry and I'm so very glad we did. One reason why I chose it is because they say babies can see high contrast (black and white and bright colors) the best during their first couple months and I wanted a book I could start reading to my daughter right away and would hopefully keep her attention - This is the perfect one for that! I thought the silhouettes of the figures and shapes would be great for her little eyes and little brain as they developed and she has loved ... Read More
Rating: - The perfect first book
This was one of the first books I purchased for my son. As a small infant (1-3 months old) he would get bored with other books, but the shapes and bright colors in this book kept him interested. It was the only book he'd pay attention to until he was 4 or 5 months old.
Even now, at the age of 11 months, it's his favorite. It is short and the shapes captivate very young babies and toddlers alike. When he's grumpy, this is my go to book to make him happy. He likes the fact that there ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Book
My daughter loves to read, and this is yet another book she can flip through her self (board book) over and over and not rip the pages.
Rating: - Fun to read
This is a short book, but still is one of our son's favorites that he received for his 2nd birthday. He had it memorized in no time at all. Because the pictures are mono-tone, it is a fun book to explore and talk about the shapes. I also like the message that it sends (or at least what I get out of it and elaborate on in my own words) about how people come in all shapes and sizes, and that we should celebrate them all.
