Description
In "A Circle Is Not a Valentine," Alphonse, an eccentric artist, tries to paint a valentine but mistakenly creates a square, a circle, and a triangle. The story follows his confused attempts to understand shapes while trying to make a proper valentine. Targeted at early elementary readers in grades K-3, the book introduces basic geometric shapes through a simple, illustrated narrative.
