Shapes that Roll by Karen Nagel, illustrated by Steve Wilson

From chapters.ca:
Some shapes roll... some don't. Some shapes stack... others won't. Some shapes lie down... while others stand tall. Circles, squares, and triangles, even ovals and diamonds, are endlessly and intriguingly entertaining in Steve Wilson's world. Karen Nagel's rhythmic text is brought to life by Wilson's troupe of uniquely- shaped characters.

Circle Dogs by Kevin Henkes, illustrated by Dan Yaccarino

From chapters.ca:
The circle dogs live in a big, square house with a big, square yard. See the dogs? See the circles? Mama calls them pooches. Papa calls them hounds. "I'm a dog!" says Big Sister. Baby is, too. And even the youngest reader will want to wiggle and bounce and dig through the day with the circle dogs... until it is time for bed. An inspired collaboration, a new take on simple shapes, a story to read again and again.

A Triangle for Adaora: An African Book of Shapes by Ifeoma Onyefulu

From chapters.ca:
In the center of Adaora's slice of "paw-paw" is a perfect star shape. She doesn't want to spoil it, so she and her cousin Ugo set off to find a different piece of fruit. As they walk, the children see all kinds of shapes: Uncle Eze's rectangular "agbada," musicians playing circle- topped elephant drums, a crescent- shaped plantain, even plants with leaves in the shape of a heart. Ifeoma Onyefulu's vibrant prose and vivid photographs are a charming introduction to both shapes and to Nigerian village life. Sidebars provide further details about the fascinating objects illustrated.
