Shapes That Roll

While piloting his spaceship through the skies, Captain Invincible encounters three-dimensional shapes, including cubes, cylinders, and pyramids.

No matter how hard she tries, Triangle doesn't roll like the circles, or stack like the squares. She sets off to find friends that look exactly like her. But when she finds other triangles, playtime isn't as fun. She misses shapes that roll and stack; she misses being different. So she starts a new quest.

Triangles, circles, squares. To most of us, these are just simple shapes. But in the imaginations of Lulu and Max, these shapes found in a box take on exciting new meanings. What will you see?

The report summarizes the progress in recent and current research and development programs to advance the state of the art of the roll-diffusion-bonding process as applied to the manufacture of structural panels and shapes. At the present time, there are seven such NASA and DOD programs in progress. These are reviewed in the report. (Author).

A clever and spirited rhyming story of friends who literally come in all shapes and sizes When Circle rolls into one of Triangle's points and pops, chaos momentarily ensues until Octagon's "Stop!" brings everyone to their senses. An effortlessly rhyming text introduces us to a collection of shapes and subtly weaves their physical characteristics into traits that both lead to and solve a would-be catastrophe. Master illustrator Serge Bloch's shapes are accompanied by a chorus of miniature people who play along, creating the perfect complement to Barbara Kanninen's economy of words. Worthy of comparison to Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece, this raucous chain of events is satisfyingly cyclical, ending just exactly where it began.

This monster is finding shapes at the beach. Look, and you will see each: squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, and stars. Shapes are everywhere, theyÕre where you are!

All Shapes Matter is a story about five shapes - triangles, rectangles, squares, octagons and circles. The shapes spend their first day at elementary school learning a lot about each other and having fun. However, during recess, some of the shapes come across a problem they are unable to fix by themselves. The unfamiliar shapes who were initially shunned for being different end up coming to their aid. The shapes learn a valuable lesson that their differences can sometimes be more important than their similarities. They realize that there is value in diversity and that 'All Shapes Matter', no matter how similar or different they are.
