Shapesville

Summary: Where was this book when I was growing up?
Review: At last a book that allows kids to be comfortable about their bodies, regardless of their shape. It also conveys to kids that there are many routes (musical, artistic, academic, athletic)to become stars. Imagine kids accepting other kids because of their variety of talents and the content of their character. The image makers in Hollywood are not going to like this. As a school principal, I cannot wait to get this book into the hands of my guidance counselors. This is a "must read" for anyone over the age of five.

Summary: Reaches Out To Kids On An Important Subject Matter
Review: Every child should know that they are special, unique and a treasure. Sometimes those thoughts are clouded by self-doubt, poor body image and low self-esteem. With the help of books like "Shapesville", maybe children will grow up strong and confident. This book takes a really important and difficult subject matter and brings it back down to the child's level.

Without a doubt --- Shapesville is a tool for discussion and conversation. This should be required reading for all young people. Great debut by really strong writers. The illustrations were really creative and I think that this book is full of great talking points. Recommended Very Highly!!!!!

Summary: Wonderful.
Review: I bought this book for my neice and she loves it. There were no books on this subject for her reading level until now. I am very happy that someone has finally realized the need for a book addressing younger kids. I can't wait to see more books out there addressing this issue. Whoever these people are, they really know how to reach kids! I think is book is great.

Summary: A book about body shapes
Review: Shapesville, told in simple rhyme, addresses self-acceptance and diversity. It encourages children to look beyond color and shape. It stresses that there are many different ways that people can shine (sports, music, academics, etc). The book design is bright and Neitz's illustrations are bold, quirky, and funky.
