Definitely my favorite of the trilogy. A great read-aloud!
it was dumb, why would you write the book to make children be afraid of the dark when they don't have to be?

I'm going to be really mad if there's not another shapes book that reveals who (or what) was in the cave with Circle and Triangle. I went back through the book to see if there were clues in the illustrations (a la [b:Sam and Dave Dig a Hole|20708761|Sam and Dave Dig a Hole|Mac Barnett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1423771325s/20708761.jpg|39789300]) but nothing jumped out at me. I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF UNCERTAINTY!!
I got Square and Triangle in the fall and my students love them so much. The simple illustrations tell about friendship between three very different shapes.
Circle made a fun appearance in the last book and now he has a namesake. This time they are playing a game of hide and seek. Triangle, the trouble caused goes where he should not and surprises abound. I thought there might be a surprise for a fourth book, but the ending was perfect. I kind of love that the ending went for creativity instead!
Lots of good conversations about friendships, being in the dark and being scared. I can’t wait to share it with students! Even my 5-6th graders ask about these books!

Cute story in this shape series. The uncertain ending was fun to explore with my children, but it felt like it was missing something...
