A review by bookishlizz
Circle by Mac Barnett
5.0
This is NOT an unbiased book review. It's honest, it is just coming from a Mac Barnett/Jon Klassen super fan.
We've been on a journey. First, silly Triangle tried to play a joke on Square. Then, hardworking Square learns about art when he is challenged by Circle. Finally we have these funny shapes playing a game with only one rule - don't go behind the waterfall.
Now, much like when you tell a small child not to do something, their curiosity is SO STRONG they can't help themselves. They have to try it. So Square does. Triangle is afraid, but Circle is brave and goes in to find him. Except ... what does she find?
I'm an adult, and I read this silently to myself and a laughed. Then I read it aloud to myself and I laughed. Then I called a friend to tell her about the book and we both laughed.
The incredible duo of Barnett and Klassen delivers once again with a brilliant, hilarious story that is simple enjoy for preschoolers, interesting enough for elementary kiddos, and funny enough for adults.
This is one picture book you aren't going to mind reading thirty-seven times in a row.
