\nThis guy. He’s got a bad case of impostor syndrome (or does he?) in Mac Barnett’s<\/a><\/strong> and Jon Klassen’s<\/a><\/strong> newest book in the Shape<\/em> trilogy, Square<\/em> (Candlewick, May 2018). <\/p>\n

I set out at Kirkus<\/em> last week to write (here<\/a><\/strong>) about how much I like this book, but I ended up rambling about children’s books and intent and reading and pranksters and mischief instead. But today here at 7-Imp, I do have two spreads from the book. They are below. To read more about Square<\/em>, you can read the Kirkus<\/em> review<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Today over at Kirkus<\/em>, I write about Michael Ian Black’s<\/a><\/strong> and Debbie Ridpath Ohi’s<\/a><\/strong> I’m Sad<\/em>. That is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n
