by **Anne Miranda** (Author), **Eric Comstock** (Illustrator)

**"Clever fun." --_Booklist_**

**" A\] delightful geometric tale...that kids will surely love." --_School Library Journal_**

**From award-winning author Anne Miranda comes a rollicking rhyming story about an unruly gang of sixteen geometric shapes who get tangled in the neighborhood jungle gym until their friend comes to their rescue and order is restored. Perfect for fans of _Chicka Chicka Boom Boom_**

_One day a little circle,_  
_just as happy as could be,_  
_got caught inside a jungle gym,_  
_and couldn't wiggle free._

When the neighborhood shapes go climbing on the park jungle gym the last thing they expect is a _tangle_. First the circle, next the triangle and then the square. One by one soon all sixteen shapes are trapped. They _push_ and _pull_ and _tumble_ and _cry for help_. Who will save them? One special shape can set the others free. Can you guess which one it is? This charming story makes learning the names of sixteen shapes as easy as a day in the park.
