Best friends Little Round and Big Square enjoy playing together, making themselves into all sorts of fun shapes and objects. But when Big Square begins to show off a bit, making himself (herself?) into all sorts of things that Little Round can't copy, it looks like their playtime is over. Then Little Round suggests that they make shapes and objects together, and the real fun starts... Wednesday is a sweet story about two best friends, Little Round and Big Square. But it's also about what it is to really play imaginatively with another. Every Wednesday, our two friends get together to play. Sometimes they have some tough moments, like all true friends, but they mostly have the best time that two friends can ever have together! Illustrated in a strong, two-color graphic style, Wednesday has strong appeal for the youngest readers as well as for parents and teachers.
