Learn Colors and Shapes with Shakur!
A Shakur Series Board Book
Shakur wants to go to school like his older sister, but first he must learn his colors and shapes. Join Shakur in “Learn Colors and Shapes with Shakur!” as he embarks on an educational journey with his mom.
Description
Shakur encounters a series of colorful shapes — red circles, green rectangles, purple stars, and more. As he tries to identify each color and shape, and then think of an object that is the same color, he experiences a range of emotions. He feels frustrated when he makes mistakes, but with perseverance and encouragement, he triumphs over the challenges. Children will share in Shakur’s feeling of accomplishment as they learn their colors and shapes alongside him.
