I just ran across a couple of blogs about kids enjoying this book. Rachel, a creative child living in Cairo, made some wonderful collages with shapes.

Books will be available for purchase, and I will also happily sign copies of my books that kids bring from home. Westbrook and Gorham have an inservice day on March 27th, so the public schools are closed. So---come down for some shape fun!<br /><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/723750751844410234-7703673829051605405?l=shapecaper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cathryn Falwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500703510144416586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-723750751844410234.post-78123615734703105032008-04-30T14:11:00.001-07:002008-12-08T18:11:01.231-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xPt14WsLnWM/SBjhPztXqsI/AAAAAAAAADg/H-B2xj7hxOE/s1600-h/CMdancers094.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xPt14WsLnWM/SBjhPztXqsI/AAAAAAAAADg/H-B2xj7hxOE/s200/CMdancers094.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195149831866657474" /></a>Here's the video of the <a href="http://www.centreofmovement.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Centre of Movement</span></a> dancers performing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">Capering Shapes</span></span>!  <div><div style="text-align: right;">                                                                                                                And here are<br /></div><div><div style="text-align: right;">the fabulous</div><div style="text-align: right;">dancers!</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><object height="350" width="425"><param value="http://youtube.com/v/ivJzJQtzmEQ" name="movie"><embed height="350" width="425" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://youtube.com/v/ivJzJQtzmEQ"></embed></object></p></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/723750751844410234-7812361573470310503?l=shapecaper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cathryn Falwellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500703510144416586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-723750751844410234.post-74864852520832074002008-04-27T21:44:00.000-07:002010-08-22T11:49:09.686-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xPt14WsLnWM/SBVdfjtXqnI/AAAAAAAAACs/xwu9Bsjp1A4/s1600-h/shape_capers_cover.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xPt14WsLnWM/SBVdfjtXqnI/AAAAAAAAACs/xwu9Bsjp1A4/s320/shape_capers_cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194160541984598642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPt14WsLnWM/SBVZ1TtXqmI/AAAAAAAAACg/sKEZ2hcresU/s1600-h/shapecars.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPt14WsLnWM/SBVZ1TtXqmI/AAAAAAAAACg/sKEZ2hcresU/s320/shapecars.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194156517600242274" /></a><br />Here are some images, comments, reviews<div> and activities about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061237003/Shape_Capers/index.aspx"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">Shape Capers</span></a></span>!<div>The book was released by Greenwillow in September 2007. </div><div>A special soft-cover edition was created for the <a href="http://www.mainereads.org/read_withme.asp"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Maine Reads</span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.mainereads.org/read_withme.asp"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Read With ME</span></a></span> program, and was distributed to 17,000 Maine kindergarten children. </div><div>For an article about this that appeared in the Portland Press Herald, click <a href="file:///Users/cathryn/Desktop/COLLECTION/SHAPE%20CAPERS/CF-PPH/Lakes%20Neighbors-%20Read%20With%20Me%20features%20Gorham%20author.webarchive"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><b>here</b></span></a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Capering Shapes</span> is a dance performance choreographed by the amazing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Vicky Lloyd</span></span> and her fabulous dancers at the <a href="http://www.centreofmovement.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Centre of Movement</span></a> in Gorham, Maine.
