Beschreibung des Verlags
The geometry of food is explored in New York Times bestselling illustrator Miguel Ordóñez’s newest board book on shapes!
Various parts of a meal are formed one by one, piece by piece, in this visual play on the interaction between shapes. If just three simple shapes can combine to create a strawberry, then four shapes make a...? Part guessing game, part visual narrative, young readers will follow along as shapes are added to build new foods, and laugh along as some sneaky critters attempt to take on more than they can chew. With humor, anticipation, and possibility on every page, this board book encourages creativity and proves that anything is possible when taken piece by piece.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As an ant feast is constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed in this foodie exploration of quantity and design, Ordóñez's flatly colored, digitally assembled illustrations demonstrate the way shapes come together to make images. Establishing the concept, the first recto presents three atypical shapes; a page turn later, these components are combined into a strawberry. Accompanying interrogative text encourages interactivity as an increasing number of pieces, building up to eight, create more elaborate edibles ("What do 4 shapes make?// A cupcake!"). On each completing spread's recto page, hungry ants escort the comestibles off-page, eventually joining up in a march toward their anthill, where a small entrance necessitates taking everything back apart. The counting involves some confusing quirks—three cupcake sprinkles are counted as one item, and some of the pizza toppings multiply when appearing on a slice—but the final smorgasbord nevertheless amuses with a vision of remixed dishes. Ages 1–3.
