My First Suicide - Ali Zapak

Advantages: Introduces children to shapes.
Disadvantages: Not the most exciting of books compared to recent publications on the same theme.

...'. - Price - My copy is a hardcover, ISBN: 0-19-910482-4 and was originally £5.99 but is currently available from amazon for £1.03. - Other books in the series - My first ?. ~ alphabet book ~ counting book ~ book of colours ~ book of time ~ book of opposites - Verdict - I bought this book in the late 90s and I still use it today with younger children, alongside the more recent, brightly coloured publications. As stated earlier, it certainly does what is intended and is a good, basic introduction to 2D shapes for children. N.B. This review also appears on dooyoo.... Read review
