This book is about Circle. This book is also about Circle’s friends, Triangle and Square. Also it is about a rule that Circle makes, and how she has to rescue Triangle when he breaks that rule. With their usual pitch-perfect pacing and subtle, sharp wit, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen come full circle in the third and final chapter of their clever shapes trilogy.

Circle is a creative and unique take on teaching about overcoming your fears. It is definitely not for everyone but our kids found it to be super appealing and they enjoyed that they could come up with their own ending since it was left open to interpretation.

It was also a great conversation starter about how we shouldn't always jump to conclusions about what we think about someone before we get to know them. Thank you to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for a copy of this book...all opinions are my own. ( )

This book works really well. It stands out from other books for it’s simplicity of story and it’s simplicity of illustration.
