The new (and apparently last book, though I would love to see another book about the mysterious shape that we meet in this book) book about shapes, this time Circle is the one who has the lead role.
I read this book in Dutch, but will be writing my review in English. :)
I haven't read the second book, but I did read the first book. It doesn't help that nowhere it is said which book is which volume. I think I will have to reserve Square at the library (one of them). Because this series is just tons of fun to read and I want to read all of them now.
I was instantly in love with Circle. How cool and super that she floating and didn't roll. Because I thought that would happen (as that is something that often happens when shapes are round). I love that the author/illustrator decided to go for something completely different.
The hide-and-seek with the other shapes was fun, but Triangle was being a pest again. Oh, someone says I shouldn't hide there. Someone warned me. Someone forbid me. *shrugs* Let's go!
I rolled around laughing when Circle was in the dark looking for Triangle and had a whole angry rant towards what she thought was Triangle, and the part that followed was especially hilarious. I am quite curious who those pair of eyes belongs to. Mm.
My guess? Pentagon! Now that would make a fun shape.
The illustrations were lovely, but then again I am a big fan of Jon Klassen and his work. Even the more simple things look fabulous!
All in all, I liked this book. It is just a shame that there aren't going to be more book about shapes. I would recommend this book.

omg this book is kind of scary! I love it.
I hate it when someone breaks the rules, but on the other hand, I admire the courage of those who dare to break them. From this book, I learned that a good friend will give you advice, get angry when you don’t listen, but still care for you.
P.S. I think the shape is a hexagon. Maybe I think that because it reminds me of cyclohexane, a carcinogenic substance. Perhaps that’s why he chose to isolate himself.

I loved the illustrations and love this pair in general, but this wasn't my favorite of their shape series.
Eh not my style. Circle, square, and triangle play hide and seek. Circle tells the others not to go behind the waterfall, but triangle does. They meet a stranger, but who is it. Unsatisfying end for me. Pictures are just ho-hum.
Oh wow.... I have loved this series, but the ending of this one was just so disappointing. 🙁
My students loved Triangle so I was excited to read Circle. I love that you never found out what was in the cave as it will lead to some great writing or discussions. Mac Barnett's books are so simple but fun and I can't wait to share this one with my students.
