Perfect Square is a metaphor of renewal, rebuilding and possibility. It is also illustrative and capitalizes on art, math & science in a fun and age appropriate way. The imaginative, multidimensional, and inspiring narrative is easily translatable to kids, classroom, patrons, and anyone's quest to renew and transform. I love this book even more because... Friends of MN Orchestra has commissioned music set to the story - premieres on Oct 25th at a fun community event that I'm co-chairing at Orchestra Hall. Contact me to find out more. Review: This book teaches children all about squares. It shows that a perfect can be made with little shapes such as two or four triangles. I would definitely utilize this book in my classroom because it teaches a difficult concept in an easy, understandable way. Learning Experience: The children will be given a big square which they will have to fill in with two triangles, four triangles, and so on. They will start with only two and work their way up as they understand the concept.
