Angles and triangles are everywhere, and the shapes and colors found in everyday objects come to life when the pages of the book are turned.

A smart and engaging book that will encourage the imaginations of children, all while teaching them to recognize triangles." Kirkus Reviews starred review"Don't miss minedition's other new die-cut book this season, Triangles by Yusuke Yonezu.

Bodleian Library What is Round?
Book SynopsisMany things in the natural world are round – the moon, the sun, a nest, a bubble. And so are many delicious things to eat – a ball of ice-cream, a doughnut, a pie. And so too are more decorative objects such as a crown, a clock or a bauble on a Christmas tree. Through gentle verse this charming book, first published in the 1950s, explores a surprising range of items and sounds that come in round shapes. Striking and vibrant illustrations by Vladimir Bobri add humour and warmth to this joyful geometrical exploration for young children.Trade Review'As you'd expect from Bodleian Children's Books, they have a distinctly vintage feel that makes them utterly irresistible. … the striking colour palette and illustrations in 'What is Round?' will immediately transport you back to the 1950s which is when these books were first published ... It's a quirky take on the usual shape book format and the traditional text and stylish, retro pictures combine for a wonderfully whimsical mix. ... These timeless treasures would be a beautiful addition to any child's collection. We loved them!' * Armadillo Magazine *

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Just a Worm
Book SynopsisTrade Review“The cleverness of this story lies in its lighthearted, effective dissemination of information about various insects as well as earthworms. . . . The stunning illustrations are done in quilled paper—a centuries-old technique that involves assembling strips of colored paper into shapes—which adds sparkle and originality. . . . An engaging, informative narrative.” — Kirkus Reviews “Boyd takes readers on a journey through a spring garden as a worm tries to discover what makes it special. Along the way, it speaks to various bugs and insects about their own talents before finding its own. . . . The information works best with preschoolers, who will love the standout in the book: gorgeous paper quilled artwork, which makes the garden jump off the page. . . . A lovely first work, and a talent to watch.” — School Library Journal “An earthworm determinedly attempts to debunk the idea that it’s ‘just a worm’ in this educational tribute. . . . Boyd’s scenes consist primarily of three-dimensional paper art, which features elaborate quilling techniques. The wiggler (and the reader) eventually come to appreciate the unique role its kind plays in helping make a garden grow.” — Publishers Weekly
