About This Book

Triangle decides to play a sneaky trick on his friend Square, traveling far from his own angular home to Square's blocky doorstep. When Square tries to retaliate, he discovers that Triangle's pointy doorway is a shape he simply cannot fit through - leaving readers to wonder who really got the last laugh.

Why We Love This

The bone-dry humor and minimalist illustrations crack us up every time, and kids love debating whether Triangle was actually scared at the end.
