Square by Mac Barnett
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?
“Expert wry humour and striking graphics” * The Bookseller *
“Inquisitive, witty and framed by peppermint-green and softy inky scribbles, awash with intelligence and depth, it’s just lovely!” * Press Association *
“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” * BookTrust *
“This sequel to the award- winning author/illustrator team’s equally offbeat Triangle is a typically original delight, full of minimalist images, dry humour and an undercurrent of philosophical debate.” * 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 *
