# This Is a Book of Shapes - Board Book

by **Kenneth Kraegel** (Author), **Kenneth Kraegel** (Illustrator)

**The creator of _King Arthur's Very Great Grandson_ and _Green Pants_ switches gears with a slyly silly introduction to shapes--just watch out for the emus**

First comes the circle. Then the square and the triangle. Then the . . . _emu pushing a pancake wagon down a hill_? What begins as a concept book about everyone's geometric favorites soon defies expectations with a series of funny and imaginative twists. Award-winning author-illustrator Kenneth Kraegel pairs a deadpan text with simple wood-grained shapes, interspersed with vibrant illustrations of animals engaged in hilariously absurd pastimes. Each page turn builds on the delicious anticipation the contrast creates to make this a unique and rollicking story-time hit.
