Perfect Square by Michael Hall


Perfect Square by Michael Hall, Greenwillow Books, 2011, ISBN 978-0-06-191513-0
PS: A perfect square that is perfectly happy is torn into pieces, punched with holes, and otherwise changed but finds in each transformation that it can be something new, just as happy.
Great book to address happiness, contentment and change. Beautiful artwork would lend itself to a collaborative project with the art teacher. Eric-Carle-like paper is torn, shattered, cut, and hole-punched to create different objects. Maybe tie in with tangrams and math?!
