This is a book I read to my students when we are learning about the 3D shapes sphere, cone, cylinder & cube. It's a simple & repetetive story that the kids pick up on quickly. It also helps kids understand the difference between flat shapes (square, circle, rectangle & triangle) and 3D shapes. If you are a preschool teacher and only teach basic shapes you can leave the 3D shapes pages out and the story still makes sense. Update: I have added a black and white reproducible copy of the book.
Thank you! I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine do! Thanks for purchasing!

I really love this book!! The cone page though in the colored story as well as the printable books for the students is not legible. The cone covers up the words.
Really? Oh no! I printed it out and didn't have that issue. I wonder if anyone else is having that problem? Please e-mail me at inspiredbykindergarten@hotmail.com and I'll see if I can find a solution for the issue. Maybe I need to e-mail you the file saved in a different format?

This book is too cute! Can't wait to use it next year with our new CCGPS.

I purchased your shape monster book and although the students' books came out right the words on the big book did not come out at all. It looks like there are squares were the words should be.
Do you have the latest/newest version of Adobe downloaded? My first suggestion is to try and update that. If you update it and it still doesn't work please e-mail me at inspiredbykindergarten@hotmail.com and I will send you the file via e-mail to see if that makes a difference.
I see it now...in the memory games. Thanks for the heads up. If you want to download a new copy it's fixed now.

There seem to be black lines in some of the boxes and the color version of the story has no words at all, I am not sure if it is me or you but I LOVE this activity and am dying to get it, my theme this year is Furry Friends, which are just cute monsters:) Please contact me at prpledrgn1@aol.com, thank you so much!
Hi Mary,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the download. Thanks for checking with me for a solution. Do you use a Mac or PC? I haven't had anyone else mention this issue on the pack so I'm wondering if it's your computer? Here are a couple things TPT suggests you try:
1. Update your Adobe Reader.
2. If you are on a Mac, do not open with Preview. It will not work. Download the most updated version of Adobe Reader and open the PDF with it (and not Preview).
I'll e-mail this information to you as well. If you try both these items and it still doesn't work we'll try something else to get the product to you!
