Books and Bananas: Triangle

When it comes to current children's literature, Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen are true masterminds on their own.  Put them together to collaborate on a story and you are holding pure brilliance in your hands.

Triangle hit the shelves just a few months ago.  It's a simple story of a triangle and a square who are friends.  But in their subtle storytelling style, the word sly comes to mind as the best way to describe this book.

Simple drawings (with those shifty eyes that add so much power to the story) make this a nice read for both parents and kids.  Once you read this, you'll be looking for more from both of these award-winning storytellers.
