All the shapes get mixed up and tumbled after circle goes rolling along and lands on top of triangle… pop! Each shape does it’s own special thing until they are so intermixed that they have to be stopped. They right themselves until circle goes rolling along once more.

It is really cute how each shape does its own thing that is, mostly, unique to what that shape would do. But beyond that, there isn’t much to the story. I could see younger readers getting a little bored, but it would be a really good introduction to some of the basic shapes. Teachers could definitely expand on the content on their own.
