Wally Finds His Shapes

Wally doesn’t know his shapes — and it makes him upset. But Santa has an idea: a stroll around the North Pole, where the shapes are hiding everywhere. A wreath, a tree, a present, a star — one by one, Wally finds them all, and discovers that not knowing something yet is just the start of the adventure.

A festive shape hunt at the North Pole

This is the kind of picture book the little-readers shelf is made for. The story turns a quiet worry — not knowing your shapes yet — into a walk through a snowy, twinkling North Pole, where every holiday object doubles as a shape to spot. Circle, triangle, square, rectangle, star, oval, diamond, heart — can you find them all?

It reads aloud beautifully at bedtime. The shape-hunting gives small readers a job on every page, and the Christmas setting makes it an easy one to pull out again the moment the tree goes up. Twenty-seven pages of warm, gentle seeking for ages three to five.

“Not knowing something yet is just the start of the adventure.”

Wally Finds His Shapes is written and illustrated by JE King, independently published, and available now in paperback. A lovely stocking stuffer or read-aloud for the holiday season.
