Shape By Shape

This new concept book

from Caldecott Honor illustrator Suse MacDonald is sure to

entertain children! As readers turn the brightly colored die-cut

pages, shapes stack to reveal a creature from long ago. Page by

page, MacDonald’s dazzling, cut-paper,

collage-style artwork transforms circles into eyes and triangles

into teeth until a familiar creature is revealed with

the help of a large foldout page.

Suse MacDonald published her first book, Alphabatics, for Simon & Schuster in 1986. This book won a Caldecott Honor in 1987, kicking off a prolific and successful career. Suse continues to write and illustrate books for children, including, most recently, Fish, Swish! Splash, Dash!: Counting Round and Round and Alphabet Animals: A Slide and Peek Adventure, for Little Simon. Suse loves to work in her studio and finds pleasure in encouraging readers to make their own artistic discoveries. Suse lives in San Diego, California, with her husband, Stuart.
