Once Upon a Shape

Publisher Maison Georges
Age 6-9All Ages
This enchanting, clever, and innovate pictographic tale teaches readers through shapes and rhymes that not fitting into any box may be the best thing of all!

Once upon a time, there was a King and Queen with very strict geometric principles. Alas, their own children failed to follow the official royal morphology. The first was flabby, the second very wavy, and so on. But the miracle they had been waiting for finally came to pass. Their youngest child is a marvel: an isosceles girl, perfect in every way. Now they have the perfect heir at last! But then, lo and behold, she falls in love with an oddly-shaped suitor... A unique picture book and a fascinating reading experience in which the universality of fairy tales is combined with the joy of geometric shapes and their resonant names.
