Who would have guessed that so much creativity could go into a book like this one? But there it is!

As you'd expect, Goodreaders, this elementary-school type nonfiction book introduces readers to rectangles, providing paired pages that alternate text and illustrations.

So, what makes this book so creative?

* Graphic design makes the page with the photograph into a horizontal rectangle. Unexpected!
* Some photos take an aerial view, looking down at things, like a swimming pool or a soccer field.
* Kids get to do a double take, when a photo of a wall being made shows the hand of a builder. Plus, one of the individual bricks in that wall is highlighed in neon yellow.

So clever! This is a true FIVE STAR book.
