More wonderful illustrations from Jon Klassen! This is the story of Triangle, who decided to play a trick on Square. He travels across lands with different shapes to where all the rocks are square. After his trick square chases him back home. When Square gets stuck in Triangle's door, we find out Triangle is scared of the dark, and Square is blocking all the light! Square says he is now playing a trick on Triangle. Readers are asked if they believe he meant to get stuck or if it was an accident. I love the simplicity of the story and the illustrations. I also love how the children are presented with an entire story, but still have a question at the end. this would be great to share with an individual child and talk about what they think, or with a small group and ask for hands up or down. It could also be a writing prompt for older kids on tricks they can play, what they would do if they were one of the characters, or if they were a new character in the story.
