This is the next in the basic book series "The Kuekumber Kids."  

The Sheik of Shapes teaches the kids their shapes from lines through cubes and spheres.  

The book is written in story form and in rhyme and is brightly illustrated ... education through imagination.

 

Here is a bit from the book...

 

Katie and Kirky were in Lance's front yard.

And to see them you'd think they were working so hard.

Lance had some building blocks made out of wood

And the kids were stacking them however they could.

 

They made building and bridges and towers, too.

They built a whole city before they were through.

Lance made a building with a tower on top.

Katie made a tower that fell down with a PLOP!

 

"Weeee, this is fun!" Katie Kuekumber said,

Even though some blocks fell down on her head.

Then Krumby started barking into the air.

"Why's he barking?" asked Kirky.  "Is something up there?"

 

The kids stopped building and looked to the sky

Where they saw something weird flying nearby.

"It looks like a guy on a carpet to me,"

Said Lance, who was trying his best to see.
