What shape is hiding in a slice of pizza? Can you spot the rectangle in a window frame? The world is full of geometric shapes - and Shapes Around Me by Lambkinz is the key that helps young children discover them.
This vibrant, curriculum-aligned picture book introduces children ages 3-5 to the essential geometric shapes - circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, ovals, and more - through colorful illustrations that pair each shape's name and formation with familiar, real-world objects. By connecting abstract geometry to the everyday world children already know, Shapes Around Me makes early math concepts tangible, memorable, and genuinely exciting for preschool and kindergarten learners.
Every spread is designed to build visual literacy and observational skills alongside foundational math readiness. Children learn not just what a circle is, but where circles live - on wheels, on clocks, on coins. Not just what a square is, but where squares appear - on windows, on tiles, on books. This real-world association approach is what sets Shapes Around Me apart from standard flash-card learning: it teaches children to see geometry as part of daily life, not just a concept on a page.
Rooted in early childhood education best practices, Shapes Around Me supports kindergarten readiness across key developmental domains. Shape recognition is a core geometry standard embedded in Pre-K and Kindergarten curricula across the United States and United Kingdom, and this book delivers it in the format young learners absorb best - through bold visuals, simple language, and meaningful real-world connections they can test the moment they close the book.
Part of the Lambkinz illustrated picture book catalog - a growing library of early learning titles designed to complement the Lambkinz app - Shapes Around Me is ideal for classroom read-alouds, library story time, preschool circle time, and at-home shared reading. It pairs naturally with hands-on shape manipulatives and can anchor a dedicated geometry unit in any early childhood classroom.
For librarians and educators: Shapes Around Me directly supports STEAM readiness and early geometry objectives for Pre-K through Grade 1. It is suitable for classroom collections, preschool library shelves, school district purchasing lists, and homeschool curriculum supplements.
