I learned about Carter Higgin’s new book CIRCLE UNDER BERRY a few months ago and knew right away it would be one of the books I would use for a virtual workshop I was preparing for.

It’s a book about shapes, position words and where things are relative to other things, but it’s so much more.

Interactive, inviting a child into the book to describe and answer questions like: What’s the name of this shape? What color is it? What does this shape remind you of?

It’s accessible and multi-leveled. Basic questions about colors and shapes can be extended to ask more difficult questions. Where is berry in relation to orange? What shapes are below orange? What’s in-between? Do you know the name of the shape above the lion?

It’s creative and playful. If a circle can be a lion, can you make a lion out of a square? Can you make something with three shapes? Four? Which shapes would you choose?

This book invites multiple readings, supporting early literacy skills, oral language development, creative exploration, and so much more!
