This is classified as a picture book, but the extra thick pages make me think it could also be a board book. While the premise of the book is great, I can see it being a bit too difficult for certain audiences, especially if you are trying to introduce different spatial awareness concepts. Changing what you are looking at with each picture (i.e. color, shape, picture) is a great way to show children how they can classify the same thing in different groups, the wording of the book sometimes make it hard to follow, specifically as an introduction to spatial awareness.

This is such a unique concept picture book. The simple exploration of shapes, colors, and patterns will make for interesting topics of discussion about different perspectives with my 4-year-old.

This book appears somewhat simple, but it's like a song that starts with one instrument and keeps adding melodies. You could easily do something with shapes and have students write their own story. I enjoyed the short promotional video for the book as well, and would use it with students.

I'm not sure this would be great for storytime, but it would probably be fun to explore one-on-one. Spatial awareness.

This is the kind of book that deserves a place on the shelf in every elementary school library - though it probably won't be on the shelf very long because there will always be kids wanting to check it out.

Deceptively simple, definitely brilliant. Destined to be a new classic.

As a concept book, great! For mock Caldecott, not as great
