This colorful book from the Growing Tree series introduces young children to triangles, not by explaining what they are, but by showing examples in clear, colorful photographs and naming them in the short, rhyming text. Among the objects shown, which are generally familiar to the young, are a sandwich cut into triangular quarters, a piece of candy corn, an ice cream cone, a cat's ear, a turnover, a musician's triangle, a slice of pizza. Of course, many of these items aren't technically triangles at all, but that's pretty typical of books for preschoolers on shapes. However, those who feel that fuzzy math (okay, fuzzy geometry) is good enough for young children will be pleased with the book, as it is quite good in every other way.
