Many things in the natural world are roundthe moon, the sun, a nest, a bubble.
And so are many delicious things to eata ball of ice-cream, a doughnut, a pie.
And so too are more decorative objects such as a crown, a clock or a bauble on a Christmas tree.
Through gentle verse this charming book, first published in the 1950s, explores a surprising range of items and sounds that come in round shapes.
Striking and vibrant illustrations by Vladimir Bobri add humour and warmth to this joyful geometrical exploration for young children.
