Perfect Square is the perfect choice for teaching kids to think outside the box! Young readers will learn days of the week and colors of the rainbow, as well as emotional resilience. In brilliant, innovative collage artwork, Michael Hall illustrates how a happy square transforms itself after facing one challenge after another. Cut into pieces and poked full of holes? Time to become a burbling fountain! Torn into scraps? Grow into a garden! Day after day, the square reinvents itself, from simple and perfect to complex and perfect . . . and always happy. “A near perfect concept book . . . a book to revisit often, and with delight.”— The Horn Book “Pages are lusciously intense as we watch versatility trump geometry”— The Chicago Tribune Review: Perfect Square, Perfect! - Great children’s book for young artists! Creativity will be sparked by the illustrations showing all the ways a square can be transformed into works of art. Review: Creativity personified! - I love this book. Hall has created a masterpiece with this one. Everything about the book works beautifully. The story and theme about dealing with the challenges that life can throw at you is spot on. The design of the book suits the story to a tee. The way the colors compliment each other and the creative illustrations add so much to the appeal of the book. Often one doesn't find a lot of character growth in a picture book, the story is often too short, especially if the characters aren't human. But here the square does grow and realize that change and challenge can bring joy. I highly, highly recommend this book. My students also really enjoyed the book. This could lead to some great art activities as well as a great read-a-loud. ## Features - Perfect Square By Hall Michael Hall Michael ILT ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #98,523 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #119 in Children's Size & Shape Books #1,610 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) #2,734 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 409 Reviews | ## Images ![Perfect Square: A Creative Picture Book About Resilience and Imagination for Children (Ages 0-5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41faLmd0dNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Square, Perfect! *by G***K on August 27, 2025* Great children’s book for young artists!
