Book review: "Squarehead" by Harriet Ziefert

This is one of the many picture books by Harriet Ziefert and features a boy named George who has a squarehead and loves everything that is square. In fact, his entire world is filled with square shapes including animals and objects.

However, he later embarks on a journey where things are no longer square but round (i.e., planets, stars etc.) and he begins to enjoy shapes other than squares.

This book is primarily about overcoming prejudices and also of acceptance. Nicely illustrated artwork by Todd McKie. Great for parents to read aloud.

Age recommendation: 4+
