Description
Age range 6 to 9
An original concept where geometry is explained through real-life situations, demonstrating the practical usage of shapes in our everyday lives.
Geometry is usually considered a demanding, boring, or even scary subject. However, shapes are all around us, and we use them constantly without even realising it. The various uses of shapes in different environments are presented in 17 chapters, and the book ends with a double-spread where kids can try out their newly gained knowledge.
The aim of Shapes, Shapes Everywhere is to showcase geometry as a fun and useful subject that is comprehensible and helpful in many ways on a daily basis.

About the Author
Lenka Chytilovagrew up in a small East Moravian village. Drawn to books and writing from a young age, it was no surprise when she got a degree in Czech Language and Literature and German Translation. She has always tried to connect books and reading, her greatest hobby, with her work; she worked part-time in a bookshop for many years and she was also engaged as an editor and proofreader. Lenka likes classic Czech fairy tales, and she loves Veernek, the Czech television programme for children's bedtime stories.
After many years in London, Gary Boller now lives a little more south in the countryside in Hampshire, UK, with his wife and two children and several cats. He trained as a graphic designer gaining an HND and also thereafter had a career in design and advertising in London. He was always drawing as a child, even on his parents walls. He loved the comics of the day. The Beano and Dandy, famous titles in England. One day in a summer vacation job from college a co-worker said to him, on observing a cartoon he'd drawn on the back of an old envelope, 'There's something in that!' Well so it turned out. After engaging illustrators as an art director it occurred to him that he would really rather be the illustrator.
