Reviews
“Expert wry humour and striking graphics”
“A board book on the outside – albeit with a minimalist jacket and stylishly curved corners – open it up and Square is beguiling, simple and amusing. […] Inquisitive, witty an framed by peppermint-green and soft inky scribbles, awash with intelligence and depth, it’s just lovely.”
“Inquisitive, witty and framed by peppermint-green and softy inky scribbles, awash with intelligence and depth, it’s just lovely!”
“Barnett and Klassen are a perfect team to deliver a smart and funny book that manages to have sophisticated connotations about the creation, intention and reception of art, as well as reassuring children about their own artistic development.”
