<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> What begins as a concept book about everyday shapes soon defies expectations with a series of funny and imaginative twists. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>The creator of <i>King Arthur's Very Great Grandson</i> and <i>Green Pants </i>switches gears with a slyly silly introduction to shapes--just watch out for the emus!</b> <p/>First comes the circle. Then the square and the triangle. Then the . . . <i>emu pushing a pancake wagon down a hill</i>? What begins as a concept book about everyone's geometric favorites soon defies expectations with a series of funny and imaginative twists. Award-winning author-illustrator Kenneth Kraegel pairs a deadpan text with simple wood-grained shapes, interspersed with vibrant illustrations of animals engaged in hilariously absurd pastimes. Each page turn builds on the delicious anticipation the contrast creates to make this a unique and rollicking story-time hit. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Concept books come with expectations, and everybody knows them. Mastering basic shapes is a key element for preschool readiness, and everybody knows that. Kraegel breaks, most delightfully, from the program, throwing his audience off balance with one change-up and then another, until this rudimentary lesson is so swamped with giggles that tykes might forget they're learning.<br>--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books <p/>Surprising<br>--Wall Street Journal <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Kenneth Kraegel</b> is the author-illustrator of three picture books--<i>Green Pants, The Song of Delphine, </i>and <i>King Arthur's Very Great Grandson</i>, which was named a <i>New York Times Book Review</i> Notable Children's Book of the Year<i>--</i>as well as the first chapter book <i>Wild Honey from the Moon.</i> He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his family.
