COMMUNITY REVIEWS
A picture book about geometry? Believe it. submitted by klickitat on August 31, 2012, 9:52pm Very clever intersection between math and storytelling. This book right here proves why Geometry was always my favorite math subject. Perfect Square just might have swayed a younger me into the "Math is fuuun!!" camp.
Very interesting submitted by keldan315 on August 25, 2018, 11:35pm My son was fascinated by this book at age 3. We ended up making the squares out of construction paper and trying to replicate what happens in this book. I highly recommend it.
Very interesting book! submitted by wookeny on July 19, 2019, 3:04pm This book is nice for little kids, and you can learn some shapes, by just reading this book! This book is also kind of funny, and it is a very nice book.
