A review by leonandeorre
Circle by Jon Klassen, Mac Barnett
4.0
I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If you enjoyed Triangle and Square, then you'll definitely enjoy Circle. This picture book has a lot going for it. Klassen is able to give three very basic shapes ample personality and convey reactions with his illustrations. Barnett has written a fun quirky story with plenty of opportunities to engage children while reading aloud with them.
As a librarian, I am always on the lookout for storytime books. This is one I will be using in the future.
The story gives reader and listeners opportunities to talk about shapes, count to 10, talk about rules and following rules, and also about the dark and other things that can be scary.
