Hoban's wordless concept book of circles and squares is graced with
thrilling full-color photographs but marred by a small, rude
gesture in one picture. Most of the objects pictured are of
familiar man-made objects, and most come with an urban flavorw -
manhole covers, construction blinkers, shop windows, storm sewer
grates. Some of the photographs are quite funny - one shows a
couple of kids with boxes on their heads; other photos have the
quality of found objects - the back of a garbage mack, a side view
of an airport luggage carrier. The caveat: A shot of traffic lights
and a "One Way" sign includes a small poster of the symbol known as
"the finger." Perhaps only city children will notice; aside from
that, this is a tidy book, and one that puts across Hoban's
undeviating message to look, and see. (Kirkus Reviews)
Tana Hoban changes the way we look at the world. After you read this book, you will find yourself seeing circles and squares everywhere. And they will surprise you -- because they will be where you have often looked before. You will have changed -- and begun to see.
