Dr. Seuss: The Shape of Me and Other Stuff

“You know… it makes a fellow thing.
The shape of you… the shape of me…
The shape of everything I see…”

Subtitled “Dr. Seuss’s Surprising Word Book”, “The Shape of Me and Other Stuff certainly lives up to its billing. In this delightful book, first published in 1973, kids are encouraged to ponder shapes they may never have considered before: “Just think about the shape of beans and flowers and mice and big machines!”

Even in silhouette, the wacky and fantastic art of Dr. Seuss is instantly recognizable in this Bright and Early Book classic! Soaring well beyond the mundane arena of circles, triangles, and squares, here we are challenged to consider “the shape of camels & the shape of bees and the wonderful shapes of back door keys!” Kids will love the silly rhymes and funny pictures, and parents will appreciate this original take on the largely untapped world of shapes.
