Meet Triangle. He is going to play a sneaky trick on his friend, Square. Or so Triangle thinks. . . . With this first tale in a new trilogy, partners in crime Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen will have readers wondering just who they can trust in a richly imagined world of shapes. Visually stunning and full of wry humor, here is a perfectly paced treat that could come only from the minds of two of today’s most irreverent — and talented — picture book creators.

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.

三角形住在一间有着三角形门的三角形房子里。有一天，调皮的三角形决定出门捉弄他的朋友——正方形。一路上，三角形穿越了大大小小的三角形区以及没有名字的形状区，终于到达了正方形的家。当三角形玩起鬼祟的把戏，两人会迸出什么有趣的火花呢？在看似厚脸皮的“三角形”和看似天真的“正方形”之间，开启一场你追我赶的较量。捉弄和反被捉弄的故事总在朋友之间发生，因为朋友是*了解对方小秘密的人，这也是友谊带来的欢乐之一。

正方形的秘密洞穴里，放着许多正方形的石块。每天，正方形都会把石块推到山顶上。一天，圆形看见正方形和他的石块，以为他是个雕塑家，于是要求正方形为她雕塑一个圆形的雕像。正方形果真是天才雕刻家吗？作为“形状”三部曲的第二部，《正方形》塑造了“正方形”和“圆形”两个生动的角色。拟人化的正方形与圆形有双大大的眼睛，正方形在雨中崩溃的神情与肢体表现令人莞尔；出乎意料的结局——究竟圆形的赞美，是出于真心还是别有用意？正方形究竟是天生的艺术家还是偶然的天才？不同形状相遇而产生的意外发展，等你来发现。
