From the dynamic, dream team of Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett comes the final instalment in the hilarious shape trilogy.

“Simple shapes and succinct story express big ideas. Makes us consider fear of strangers, the power of the imagination, being brave and standing by friends” Sunday Times

Triangle and Square are visiting Circle, who lives at the waterfall. When they play hide-and-seek, Circle tells the friends the one rule: not to go behind the falling water. But after she closes her eyes to count to ten, of course that’s exactly where Triangle goes. Will Circle find Triangle? And what OTHER shapes might be lurking back there?

Funny and charming.

It's a good story, because it explains about getting lost and being brave. And that just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's bad.

The pictures are cool and the story made me giggle. I liked when they talked in the dark.

It was good but it wasn't very exciting

In this book I feel amazing when saw love of circle for her friend triangle. Even triangle broke the rule but circle went in dark for rescue her.

Very clever book, I did not guess where the plot was heading. Great for prediction skills, would be interesting to see what children thought of this book.

Another great book from Barnett and Klassen.

Circle has a waterfall but you must not go behind it when playing hide and seek!

I would recommend it to any child or adult who love picture books that make you laugh and think.

I liked this book although it was kind of creepy and I was a bit worried. Keep me guessing

Good

29 Jul 2023

My favourite part was when they were playing hide and seek and triangle would not follow the rules and went behind the waterfall even though circle said not to, and it was really pitch dark behind the water fall

28 Jul 2023

I liked the game they were playing. why did Triangle go behind the waterfall?

28 Aug 2022

I like this book because there was another shape.

18 Aug 2022

This is a story about a circle, triangle and square adventures, just like in CBeebies bedtime stories. It’s interesting.

02 Aug 2022

Love this book

13 Feb 2022

I loved it because it was about shapes.

10 Sep 2021

I thought it was funny and love the illustrations.

My mummy thinks this was so funny!!!

28 Aug 2021

I liked when circle went looking for his friend and thought it was him but it was someone else

24 Aug 2021

I like the spooky dark. The shapes couldn’t see anything

16 Aug 2021

It was very funny because they were playing a game and they were told not to go in the waterfall but naughty triangle did. Circle had to go and find him but she only saw two eyes, triangle was behind her and square was out side so it was another shape. I read the other mac barnett and Jon kassel books and I hope they write another one to find out who the new shape is.

26 Jul 2021

It was a little bit too dark in the cave. I don’t want that to happen in real life.

23 Jun 2021

I didn’t like it ‘cause the triangle went behind the waterfall and you’re not allowed to do that.
