Los dos creadores de libros infantiles con más talento de la actualidad, juntos en este sorprendentemente sencillo y divertido álbum ilustrado que invita a la reflexión. ------------ This book is about Square.

Deciden jugar al escondite, pero Círculo pone una única condición: no vale esconderse detrás de la cascada porque está muy oscuro y da mucho miedo. Círculo cierra los ojos y cuenta: 1, 2, 3... Cuando los abre, Cuadrado la avisa de que Triángulo se ha escondido detrás de la cascada. ¡No puede ser! Ahora tienen que ir a buscarlo. ¿Qué otras formas habrá en la terrible oscuridad?

But after she closes her eyes to count to ten, of course that''s exactly where Triangle goes. Will Circle find Triangle? And what OTHER shapes might be lurking back there?

The beloved, multi-award-winning duo of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen tackle a perennial question. When Santa arrives at a child’s house on Christmas Eve, does he go down the chimney feetfirst or headfirst? What if he gets stuck? What if there’s no chimney?

Whether it’s shape-shifting or impromptu laundry use, Mac Barnett’s iconic talent for earnest deadpan humor and Jon Klassen’s irresistibly funny art honor the timeless question with answers both ridiculous and plausible, mounting in hilarity as the night continues. Channeling a child’s fanciful explanations (and begging for further speculation), this latest collaboration by a New York Times best-selling team will find a secure spot among family holiday traditions.
