Perfect Square by Michael Hall
5.0

Age: Toddler - Preschool
Shapes, Days of the week

A smooth flowing, brightly portrayed life of the square. At first happy with its life, the square is cut, torn, shredded, shattered, snipped, and wrinkled each day of the week. Each alteration, the square takes a new form to make a fountain, mountain, garden, etc. On Sunday, nothing happens and feeling confined by his perfect sides the square takes it upon himself to change.

This picture book for babies and toddlers encompasses many early literacy components, including days of the week, shapes, and new vocabulary. It also includes a young child's early experiences including change, expectations, and initiation.
