Square
The beguiling second entry in the innovative shape trilogy, this book is about Square and nudges readers toward a more well-rounded way of looking at things.
This book is about Square. Square spends every day taking blocks from a pile below the ground and stacking them in a pile above the ground. This book is also about Square's friend, Circle. Circle thinks Square is an artistic genius. But is he really? With the second story in a trilogy of tales about Triangle, Square, and Circle, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen nudge readers toward a more well-rounded way of looking at things. Understated and striking in its simplicity, this funny, thoughtful offering from two of today's most talented picture book creators emphasizes the importance of keeping your eyes—and your mind—open to wonder where others see only rubble and rocks.
