Ce livre, c'est l'histoire de Carre. Tous les jours, Carre choisit un bloc de pierre dans sa grotte souterraine et le pousse jusqu'a la surface. Ce livre, c'est egalement l'histoire de Cercle, l'amie de Carre. Cercle est convaincue que son ami est un veritable genie de la sculpture, mais... l'est-il vraiment?

Dans le deuxieme tome de leur trilogie, Mac Barnett et Jon Klassen, l'un des duos les plus remarquables en litterature jeunesse, poussent les lecteurs a adopter un point de vue original. Cet album cocasse, au style epure et minimaliste, met l'accent sur l'importance de garder l'esprit ouvert et de se laisser surprendre par l'inattendu.



This book is about Square. Square spends every day taking blocks from a pile below the ground to a pile above the ground. This book is also about Square's friend Circle. Circle thinks Square is an artistic genius. But is he really? With the second story in a trilogy of tales about Triangle, Square, and Circle, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen nudge readers toward a more well-rounded way of looking at things. Understated and striking in its simplicity, this funny, thoughtful offering from two of today's most talented picture-book creators emphasizes the importance of keeping your eyes -- and your mind -- open to wonder where others see only rubble and rocks.
