Overview
Round Is a Mooncake, A Book Of Shapes: A little girl’s urban neighborhood becomes a discovery ground of things round, square and rectangular in this lyrical picturebook. Most of the objects are Asian in origin, others universal: round rice bowls and a round pebble, square dim sum and the boxes that pizza comes in, rectangular Chinese lace and a very special pencil case. Bright, whimsical art accompanies narrative rhyme and a short glossary adds cultural significance to the objects featured in the book.
