"Triangle", "Turtle in the Sea" and "Itse Selu: Cherokee Harvest Festival"

These books looked interesting and were.

Triangle
4 stars
Author: Mac Barnett
Illustrator: Jon Klassen

Triangle plans to play a trick on Square. It ends with Square playing a trick on Triangle - maybe.
Many sizes of triangles and squares along with shapes with no names carry the action as Triangle and Square play a simple game.

Turtle in the Sea
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Jim Arnosky

Follow an old sea turtle on her way to lay her eggs. Along the way you find out about the scars on her shell.
The illustrations are very nice and try to capture the feel of the ocean. The story reflects some of the dangers faced by sea turtles.

Itse Selu: Cherokee Harvest Festival
5 stars
Author: Daniel Pennington
Illustrator: Don Stewart

Corn was the major crop for the Cherokee. A good harvest would keep them for the coming winter. This harvest time marked the end and beginning of the year.
The story follows a young boy as he celebrates Itse Selu. There are several Cherokee words with their pronunciations in the text. At the end, the book has a page about Sequoyah and the alphabet he devised.
The illustrations are well done.
