<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Follow along as Puppy tries again and again and finally figures out how blocks of different shapes and sizes can fit together to build a bed that's just the right size for a snooze.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Solve a problem with Puppy and a bag full of blocks! Robie H. Harris and Chris Chatterton team up for another gentle introduction to early math concepts.</b> <p/>Puppy wants to build a bed out of blocks, one that is wide enough and long enough for a snooze. But there aren't enough rectangles, squares, and triangles. NOW WHAT? Build, measure, count, compare! Follow along as Puppy tries again and again and <i>again</i> and finally figures out how blocks of different shapes and sizes can fit together to build a bed that's just the right size for a nap.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The digitally colored pencil illustrations with some photographic elements are dear, with an appropriate level of simplicity and lots of negative space in its white, pastel blue, or yellow backgrounds. The puppy's soft curves and spots provide a distinctive visual counter to the beveled edges of the blocks. Quaint independent learning.<br>--Kirkus Reviews <p/>Harris succeeds in describing block shapes ("1. 2. 3. 4 corners. 1. 2. 3. 4 straight lines--all the same size. Hey! This is a square!") and Puppy's trial-and error-process in kid-friendly terms, providing support for young builders who might not see the design flaws right away. Readers should pair this book with real blocks for a tail-waggingly fun building session once Puppy settles in for a well-earned victory nap.<br>--Shelf Awareness for Readers<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robie H.
