From the dynamic, dream team of Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett comes the final instalment in the hilarious shape trilogy.

Triangle and Square are visiting Circle, who lives at the waterfall. When they play hide-and-seek, Circle tells the friends the one rule: not to go behind the falling water. But after she closes her eyes to count to ten, of course that's exactly where Triangle goes. Will Circle find Triangle? And what OTHER shapes might be lurking back there?

Book Features:

This masterful and much anticipated conclusion to the SHAPE trilogy brings Triangle and Square full circle.
Jon Klassen's HAT trilogy has sold 1.9 million copies to date. This Is Not My Hat is currently the only book to win both the Kate Greenaway and Caldecott Medal.
What Mac and Jon do so cleverly in their books is to ask questions of the child reader, encouraging their engagement with the story beyond the page.

About the Authors

Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen have made six books together: Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Extra Yarn, The Wolf, the Duck and the Mouse, Triangle, Square and this book, Circle. Jon is also the creator of the much-acclaimed Hat trilogy, which includes I Want My Hat Back, the Kate Greenaway and Caldecott Medal winner This Is Not My Hat and We Found a Hat. They both live in California, USA, but in different cities.

Jon is from Canada, Mac is not.

Industry Reviews

"An elegant picture book in which simple shapes and succinct story express big ideas. Here a game of hide-and-seek makes us consider, for starters, fear of strangers, the power of the imagination, being brave and standing by friends." * The Sunday Times *
"Clever and extremely funny." * The Bookseller, Children's March Previews *
"[...] every bit as funny and stylish as its predecessors." * Mini Travellers *
"This is a lovely book to read at bedtime. The use of shapes as characters really keeps children engaged, and the mystery towards the end of the book encourages children to use their imagination. Even as an adult I found myself wanted to know more about what was going on! I didn't expect a mystery in a children's picture book!" * Me, Him, The Dog, And the Baby *
