![]() The squares and the resulting shapes have the same collage-y look as some of Eric Carle’s books, but these are a little crisper and less free-form than Carle’s are. On Sunday, the square is just a square again, but now he’s unwilling to stay just the same old thing and he takes it upon himself to re-imagine himself once again. And each day the square rearranges itself into a new object, each one clever and fun to look at. Not to be deterred, the square rearranges itself into a fountain (the holes look like bubbling water – it is really cool).Įach successive day, the square is a different color and is un-squared another way (smashed, torn, crumpled, etc). ![]() But then, on Monday, it is cut up and holes are poked into it. The Perfect Square starts out with a square, perfect with four equal sides and four perfect corners. I am always on the lookout for books that bridge the gap between board books and full-on, lengthy-text picture books (Ella isn’t really ready to sit through many readings of, say, One Morning in Maine). Perfect Square is such a clever, simple book. ![]()
