Triangles (Yonezu Board Book)
by Yusuke Yonezu
Ages 0-3 26 pages minedition November 2015 Board book    

Die-cut holes reveal triangles of different sizes and colors. Depending on their placement on the page and how many there are, they provide clues to the questions the author asks about the shapes.

“What can this triangle be?” Appearing against a white background is a blue triangle outlined in black. When the page is turned, the die cut becomes a roof and a hat. A triangle standing at an angle turns into a green flag and a red sail. Triangles make up animal faces (mouse, fox), evergreen trees, a crown, and a pair of carrots and umbrellas. The highest number of triangles to count is three, which make up a pig’s face.

The illustrations are not detailed; the focus is on the shape and the color. Glossy board book pages make for easy cleaning. Books like this go out a lot at our public library. Pair it with Who is Smiling? by Yonezu for a storytime about shapes, colors, or surprises.
