{"product_id":"which-is-round-which-is-bigger","title":"Which Is Round? Which Is Bigger?","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the first two-page spread of this deceptively simple picture book  the text asks  \"Which one is round?\" There are two straightforward drawings showing the choices: an apple or an armadillo. For the child who understands what round means  thats an easy one -- the apple is round. Until you turn to the next spread. There youll see that the same question is asked  \"Which one is round? What do you think?\" But this time  the apple has been eaten down to its (unround) core  and the armadillo is asleep  curled into a (round) ball. Surprise! Though the objects being featured are the same  the answer to the question has now changed. This interactive concept book  written and illustrated by Mineko Mamada  contains six such pairs  illustrated with appealing  unfussy colored drawings. For each pair  children are asked to compare them based on their shape  size  height  speed or color. As with the apple and the armadillo  at first the answer to the question seems obvious  but then a turn of the page provides an unexpected twist. Young children get drawn in  first to figure out the easier answer  then to laugh when they discover the new way of looking at things. This is a unique  innovative approach to the popular concept of comparatives. Its a terrific tool for promoting school readiness with preschoolers in areas such as observation  critical thinking and creativity. But with its playful spirit  young children will just see it as a lot of fun!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949843836981,"sku":"ByrdShop_1554539730","price":29.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781554539734.jpg?v=1770087871","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/which-is-round-which-is-bigger","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
