first American edition: Enchanted Lion Books, 2014
Brain Pickings' Best Children's Books of 2014 strikes yet again!
I am adding this book to my collection of "books to read at the beginning of the school year." It will also be good for discussions of theme.
Little Round and Big Square begin the book playing nicely together, even though they are different. In their favorite game, one says a word and they both transform into that thing. By splitting in half and flipping their halves, both are able to become butterflies, for instance.
Soon, Big Square is suggesting shapes that Little Round cannot make. Both retreat to their corners.
Until Little Round suggests that they work together. Then the fun really begins.
