mehsi's review against another edition
4.0
The new (and apparently last book, though I would love to see another book about the mysterious shape that we meet in this book) book about shapes, this time Circle is the one who has the lead role.
I read this book in Dutch, but will be writing my review in English. :)
I haven't read the second book, but I did read the first book. It doesn't help that nowhere it is said which book is which volume. I think I will have to reserve Square at the library (one of them). Because this series is just tons of fun to read and I want to read all of them now.
I was instantly in love with Circle. How cool and super that she floating and didn't roll. Because I thought that would happen (as that is something that often happens when shapes are round). I love that the author/illustrator decided to go for something completely different.
The hide-and-seek with the other shapes was fun, but Triangle was being a pest again. Oh, someone says I shouldn't hide there. Someone warned me. Someone forbid me. *shrugs* Let's go!
I rolled around laughing when Circle was in the dark looking for Triangle and had a whole angry rant towards what she thought was Triangle, and the part that followed was especially hilarious. I am quite curious who those pair of eyes belongs to. Mm.
My guess? Pentagon! Now that would make a fun shape.
The illustrations were lovely, but then again I am a big fan of Jon Klassen and his work. Even the more simple things look fabulous!
All in all, I liked this book. It is just a shame that there aren't going to be more book about shapes. I would recommend this book.

2 1/2 stars. I like the illustrations and the theme of this final book in the trilogy, but it didn't grab me as much as the others

The final book in the Shapes trilogy was super cute. Triangle, Circle, and Square play a game of hide and seek which quickly takes a hilarious turn. The end of this one had an open question to kids, and while engaging, I find those a little cringe and awkward haha so that’s why this one didn’t get the 5 star. However there is a scene that literally made me chuckle and so I still approve overall!
