Zusatztext "Through imaginative use of cutouts, Ehlert has created two books in one. Each recto page shows a barnyard animal—cow, chicken, rooster, duck—composed almost entirely of geometric shapes. Turn the page, and the verso shows one of those shapes cut out and labeled on a contrasting background. Ehlert's characteristically electric palette and her strong, sure sense of design make this a stimulating primer of basic shapes and familiar animals. The book will also encourage awareness of and experimentation with the ways shapes combine to form—or even simply suggest—the objects in our world." Informationen zum Autor Lois Ehlert was the Caldecott Honor-winning author and illustrator of Color Zoo, as well as Color Farm and Circus. She also illustrated many other books, including the beloved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
