reviews
Not quite my favorite 
Dr. Seuss, of course, was extremely prolific. What this means for me is that some of his books I *adore*, but some I'm ambivalent about. This book is definitely in the latter category. It's very easy for beginning readers to read, though.

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 this book right from the start! Now she is five months old and can't get enough of it! Not only are the high contrast illustrations perfect for babies but so is the text! The words are so easy to read, they pop right off the page – Plus they are so fun to read aloud. And the fact that it's a smallish sized board book makes it perfect for little hands. This is definitely a book a baby can grow into and love for many years! Perfect first book and a great way to get your baby hooked on reading from the get go. I highly recommend it!

The Shape of Me and Other Stuff
I used this for my preschool class during 'Read Across America'. It followed a 'shadows' unit, so the children related to it as a Dr. Suess book as well as a book illustrating shadows. Nice easy text and rhyme.

Entertaining
As with all Dr. Suess books, this one keeps you entertained. My little granddaughter (6) said, »Nana this rhymes!« Bright isn't she?

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 are not too many words on the pages, and he'll turn the pages himself. With wordier books, he'll get bored and turn the page long before I'm finished reading. I'm not sure this would be a great book to purchase for an older toddler, but I would make sure to add this to any infant's book collection.
