Meet Triangle. He is going to play a sneaky trick on his friend, Square. Or so Triangle thinks. . . . With this first tale in a new trilogy, partners in crime Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen will have readers wondering just who they can trust in a richly imagined world of shapes. Visually stunning and full of wry humor, here is a perfectly paced treat that could come only from the minds of two of today’s most irreverent — and talented — picture book creators.
I adore Mac Barnett's minimalist style and ability to trim a story down to it's most basic components while still making it engaging. My toddler loves this book, and she loves that she can read most of it on her own. I like that it helps her think about how shapes fit together, and she likes that it makes her laugh.
Really cute, but my kids really latched onto the sneakiness which created some behavior problems, so not one I’d want to read regularly
