This is part of the 3-D Shapes book series designed to support early readers' understanding of mathematical shapes such as spheres. Simple and direct sentences are matched with brightly colored, full-page photographs to facilitate comprehension and provide clear examples of cubes in children's everyday worlds. An early sentence defines spheres: Spheres are perfectly round 3-D shapes. Balls of all sizes and colors are spheres. This is followed by examples of Playing with Spheres Marbles are colorful little spheres you can roll across the floor ; Nature's Spheres ; A frightened puffer fish blows up its body into a prickly sphere shape ; and All Kinds of Spheres Blowing air into chewy bubble gum makes a pink sphere. An It's a Fact section lists interesting information about spheres from the silver-sphere Epcot Center in Florida to the biggest bubble gum sphere on record. A Hands On feature provides directions for making a cube friend named Cubby. Additional features include a table of contents, clear chapter headings, a glossary, a resource guide, and an index. This book can be used as a read aloud in primary math lessons and can also be read independently by early readers-- Children's Literature Comprehensive Database
