Fisher, Valorie.  EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I'M FIVE
New York : Schwartz & Wade, 2011

IL K-3
ISBN 0375968652
The title of this book is really a joke rather than a fact.  The book is more like a celebration of toys and concepts that pre-schoolers are familiar with.  There are shapes, colors, and toys and much more to explore.  See if you can find all the items and you may even learn a thing or two along the way.
