This is a Book of Shapes

Announcing This is a Book of Shapes!

Coming September 8, 2020, this 32 page board book has more than just shapes in it, as you might have guessed.  Here is how the publisher, Candlewick Press, describes it:

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.

More on this to come!
