"Expert wry humour and striking graphics" * The Bookseller *
"A board book on the outside - albeit with a minimalist jacket and
stylishly curved corners - open it up and Square is beguiling,
simple and amusing. [...] Inquisitive, witty an framed by
peppermint-green and soft inky scribbles, awash with intelligence
and depth, it's just lovely." * Women's Way Ireland *
"Inquisitive, witty and framed by peppermint-green and softy
inky scribbles, awash with intelligence and depth, it's just
lovely!" * Press Association *
"Barnett and Klassen are a perfect team to deliver a smart and
funny book that manages to have sophisticated connotations about
the creation, intention and reception of art, as well as reassuring
children about their own artistic development." * BookTrust
*
"This sequel to the award- winning author/illustrator team's
equally offbeat Triangle is a typically original delight,
full of minimalist images, dry humour and an undercurrent of
philosophical debate." * The Daily Mail *
