Book Cover & Preview Text
“Why yes, Sir!” says Toby. “The rest of my family all have tree corners. It is only me that doesn’t, but that is because I’m a little round triangle”. Toby proudly spins around so that the Rectangle can have a good look at him and then he adds, “My dad says that I’m the only round triangle in our whole family.” “A little round triangle! Who would have guessed? I don’t think I have ever heard of such a thing,” says the Rectangle and adds, “I am very sorry to disappoint you, young sir, but I am not a carpenter. I think you’re looking for Old Man Dot. He is a carpenter.”

About the Book
The Adventures of Toby is a sweet and fun story written for young inquisitive minds. The young reader or listener will discover the main geometric shapes and their characteristics. They will learn that shapes are just as different and exciting as all the different people in the world and that being different is not a bad thing. Toby is also a story about mistaken identity and the reader might realise Toby's true identity before Toby himself finds out the truth. It is an enduring story of love for one's family, value in finding the truth and the kindness that most people will show. Whoever said geometry is not for young children or that it is dull should think again.
