What is Charlie and Lola's Shapes about?

Lola is certain that she knows all her shapes—squares, circles, triangles and even some very unusual ones. With Charlie’s help, she looks closely at the world around her and discovers shapes in familiar objects, from eggs and butterflies to snowflakes and clothes. Lauren Child’s playful illustrations and Lola’s lively observations turn an early learning lesson into a cheerful exploration. Young readers can join in, spot shapes on each page and perhaps invent a few unusual shapes of their own.
