Goodreads Synopsis:
Poor and: the word everyone takes for granted. So tiny, so common, so easily overlooked. Yet if it weren't for and, so much would fall apart! Who knew such a little word could make such a big difference?
When an array of opinionated shapes just can't find common ground, AND comes to the rescue. AND is the link that helps each pair of shapes overcome their differences, teaming up to create something entirely new. Bouncy rhyming text and colorful paintings come together in a fable that will prompt children to look for the unexpected connections all around them.
Review:
The Story of AND is such a cute book about togetherness and the overall theme is breathtakingly done. This book includes a link with a song to go along - great for families that like to read and sing together.
AND shares connections in the most unexpected places and helps shapes form friendships and create beautiful things together. The images throughout are vibrant and whimsical and will surely keep young readers entertained. The flow of the book is great and it was a quick read...without a child, it may be longer as their curiosity is spiked. This would be a great book to have children guess what the shapes are going to come together to be before turning the page.
I thought this was a wonderful book and that families will enjoy it. It has a great message of bringing things and people together and I love books that focus on word and make them fun for all ages.
