• Bonus story - Shapes are Everywhere, has been added to further expand on the concept of shapes and all the various places you will find them.

• Bonus story -The Sun is an Important Star is a story about how the sun is important to us. The sun takes on human characteristics and explains how it is helpful to us. A great learning resource.

• Reading - The stories are repetitive enough to allow kindergarten and preschool children to read them on their own after they have been introduced as a shared reading experience. This serves as a powerful method for young children to not only gain a better understanding of the reading process but also gaining a positive attitude towards it by having them experience reading the story on their own (pretend reading) and the pride of completing the book (interactive component).
