“Expert wry humour and striking graphics”
The Bookseller
<b>“Inquisitive, witty and framed by peppermint-green and softy inky scribbles, awash with intelligence and depth, it’s just lovely!” </b>
Press Association
<b>“Barnett and Klassen are a perfect team to deliver a smart and funny book that manages to have sophisticated connotations about the creation, intention and reception of art, as well as reassuring children about their own artistic development.” </b>
BookTrust
“This sequel to the award- winning author/illustrator team’s equally offbeat <i>Triangle</i> is <b>a typically original delight, full of minimalist images, dry humour and an undercurrent of philosophical debate</b>.”
The Daily Mail
“Klassen, the master of shifty eyes, keeps us guessing, while Barnett’s text is ripe with comic self-doubt.”
The Evening Standard
From the dream team of Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett comes the second instalment in the exciting new shape trilogy.
Every day, Square brings a block out of his cave and pushes it up a steep hill. This is his work. When Circle floats by, she declares Square a genius, a sculptor! “This is a wonderful statue,” she says. “It looks just like you!” But now Circle wants a sculpture of her own, a circle! Will the genius manage to create one? Even accidentally?
