SUMMARY: Throughout this book, nine shapes and sixteen colors will change a lion into a mouse, and other animals along the way. This book is an excellent way to form the idea of "diversity"' in the classroom at a young age. The book demonstrates that just because the animal looks different than the other does not mean they are not made from the same "shapes and colors".
