Review
The story is about a character called triangle who lives in a triangle-shaped house. One day, he decides to play a trick on his friend, Square. He scares his friend by pretending to be a snake outside his house. The trick works and square doesn't like it. He chases Triangle as he runs home but struggles to fit through the door because of his shape. Triangle asks him to get out of the way as Square continues to block the light into his house. Square refuses and decides to it is his turn to play a trick on Triangle! It is a simple story about two friends. It may be useful for KS1 children who are learning about different shapes, as well as providing a good opportunity for them to talk about the feelings that can arise in friendships. Simple but effective pictures accompany the story. Picture book / Ages 5+ / Reviewed by Lucy Newton, Teacher.
