(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jon Klassen. Triangle leaves his triangle-shaped house via his triangle-shaped door, off to "play a sneaky trick on Square." But thanks to geometry, Square gets the last laugh. Fans of this author-illustrator team will recognize elements such as sumptuous textures and expressive eyes, not to mention a pesky antihero and a chase scene that goes in one direction, then back--plus an open, ambiguous ending.
