Book Description
for Wednesday by Anne Bertier
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Little Round, a small orange circle, and Little Square, a larger blue square, love to play together every Wednesday. Their favorite game is a creative building game. One Little says a word, and then both Littles take the shape of that object. “Butterfly,” “flower,” “mushroom” calls out Little Square. Both Littles break into pieces and move around to make a butterfly, flower, or mushroom. Little Square is very versatile. He can take the shape of many more objects than Little Round. Little Square becomes a fence, a tree, a house, and more. Little Round begins to feel left out; she can’t make these shapes with her round body. These two friends soon find a solution. They can both say the words and create the objects by working together. A sweet and lively story about the power of play, imagination, creation, and cooperation. (Ages 2–6)
