Círculo
Este libro nos habla de Círculo. Y también de sus amigos Triángulo y Cuadrado. Y de saltarse las reglas, el miedo a los extraños y el poder de la imaginación.
Cuadrado y Triángulo van a visitar a su amiga Círculo, que vive cerca de una cascada. Deciden jugar al escondite, pero Círculo pone una única condición: no vale esconderse detrás de la cascada porque está muy oscuro y da mucho miedo. Círculo cierra los ojos y cuenta: 1, 2, 3… Cuando los abre, Cuadrado la avisa de que Triángulo se ha escondido detrás de la cascada. ¡No puede ser! Ahora tienen que ir a buscarlo. ¿Qué otras formas habrá en la terrible oscuridad?
Con un ritmo perfecto y gran ingenio, Mac Barnett y Jon Klassen cierran el círculo de manera magistral a la trilogía de las formas con este divertidísimo álbum ilustrado.

This book is about Circle. This book is also about Circle’s friends, Triangle and Square. Also it is about a rule that Circle makes, and how she has to rescue Triangle when he breaks that rule.
Triangle and Square are visiting Circle, who lives at the waterfall. When they play hide-and-seek, Circle tells her 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?
With their usual pitch-perfect pacing and subtle, sharp wit, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen come full circle in the third and final chapter of their clever shapes trilogy.
