Go, Shapes, Go! is a clever tale of a mechanical mouse playing with a mess of shapes to create a monkey. Once fashioned, the mouse and monkey collide and a new form emerges. The mouse quickly regroups the shapes and a new version of the monkey is revealed. This module invites children to explore the shapes all around them and consider how shapes work together to create real and imagined objects.
