Soft Shapes: Colors is an excellent book for young learners. The book does not have a story line, instead it describes the shapes and colors that are seen. Each of the shapes and colors can be popped out their respective foam pages for bath time, play time or story time. Parents will find the book makes story time a delight as they can make up their own story about the shape while their little one holds and plays with it. The book also serves as a puzzle book by removing the shapes and having your little one find the correct foam page where the shape will fit. As a new parent, I can tell you that my daughter loves this book. ( )

I don't think I would call this a book; rather, a toy in the shape of a book. Big foam pictures that can be pulled out and played with accompany very limited text; in this case, just one word. My daughter likes them, though, because it's great fun to pull the pieces out and have mommy put them back in. To be honest, I like the foamy puzzle type pieces, too. Still, not a book, just a fun toy. ( )
