Cute book. I am a huge fan of both Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen so seeing them collaborate together on a book makes me happy. Like this series, although it's a big young for my personal taste. I will read anything that has their name on it though!

Thank you Netgalley for providing the digital ARC of this book.

In full disclosure, I have not read books 1 and 2 of this picture book series, however, it is not necessary to understand the story line. Three shapes play a game of hind and seek when one goes somewhere they shouldn’t. The words and story are simple. The pictures match the simplistic nature, and the story involves the reader. Cute and entertaining, many young readers will enjoy this as a read aloud.

Circle is an adorable story book with laughs and a nice little lesson about friendship tucked inside.

Very sweet story about three friends who learn a little bit about differences and even though someone looks different, it doesn't mean they are scary.

Loved it! Another great pairing by this great author and talented illustrator. A fun read and I know it will be a hit at our store like the other books were

Mac Barnett is so great at keeping it simple but oh so witty at the same time! Also, Jon Klassen is possibly the only illustrator that can put so much tone and emotion into 3 shapes with eyes - I don't know how he does it!

This would make a great read-aloud to K-2 and I would even read it to older kids who might appreciate the wit a little more. This librarian loves open ended questions in the end to move seamlessly into a discussion about the book. Love it!

I love this new book by Mac Barnett. This book is similar to Square and Triangle and they cameo in this book too. I really like the open-ended question at the end of the book that will give kids an option to respond.

Mac Barnett does it again in the third shape book with Circle. Circle, square and triangle decide to pay a game of hide and seek, but one of the shapes isn't up to following the directions and sneaks of somewhere he is not supposed to be. This turns into a fear-facing adventure every they may even meet a new friend. We loved the story!
