The final book in the Shapes trilogy was super cute. Triangle, Circle, and Square play a game of hide and seek which quickly takes a hilarious turn. The end of this one had an open question to kids, and while engaging, I find those a little cringe and awkward haha so that’s why this one didn’t get the 5 star. However there is a scene that literally made me chuckle and so I still approve overall!

I LOVE the shape series by Mac Barnett! It is a story time favorite.
In this installment Circle, Triangle, and Square play hide and seek. They have a short adventure behind the waterfall.
I really like how it encourages children to use their imagination and helps to engage in conversation.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read for an honest review.

Existential dread with humor for kids.

I felt like this book was too short by a page or two
Spoilerand I'm a little sad that it ended on a cliffhanger(if that's what it could be called)- I did really like the idea behind the ending though
. I really liked everything else about this book, and I think it's formatted in a way that would make it a fairly entertaining read for storytime.
