Descriere & specificații

The creator of King Arthur's Very Great Grandson and Green Pants switches gears with a slyly silly introduction to shapes--just watch out for the emus First comes the circle. Then the square and the triangle. Then the . . . emu pushing a pancake wagon down a hill ? 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. About author(s): Kenneth Kraegel is the author-illustrator of three picture books-- Green Pants, The Song of Delphine, and King Arthur's Very Great Grandson , which was named a New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of the Year -- as well as the first chapter book Wild Honey from the Moon. He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his family.
