Squares, Rectangles, and Other Quadrilaterals  by David Adler and illustrated by Edward Miller presents geometric information for students in grades first through fourth.  A jaunty cartoon style dog and cat are on each page to encourage young mathematicians to grow their knowledge. Taken in small bits and pieces and not all in one reading, children can learn to use terms such as  polygons, angles, horizontal, vertical, 90 degrees, parallelograms,  rhombus, and trapezoid. This amount of information may be overwhelming to some, but the glossary at the end will help. The information is clearly presented. Will some elementary school age students be turned off by the dog and cat guides? Perhaps, but the friendly characters do offer readers a sense of hope.  If this happy dog and cat can learn math, than I can too.
