Round by Joyce Sidman

tammae's review against another edition

informative inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

This is the kind of book I want to make. The art is beautiful and encourages the reader to appreciate nature. The writing also flows incredibly well and I love the blurbs at the end that explain why so many things in nature are round.

This was a wonderful concept book teaching children about the joys of round things all the while maintaining a sweet and delightful tone.  Sidman and Yoo make a fantastic pair, and the design of this book is just fantastic (I mean--look at that cover font!).  Overall, this was a pretty dang good book.

A lovely little book with brightly colored & softly textured illustrations. Great to use in storytime when exploring shapes, circles, or nature.

3.5. I simple read about a child's perspective of all things round. I think this could make a fun sensory story time read where various aspects could be turned into activities after finishing the story. The illustrations were simple and sweet.
