Wednesday - Anne Bertier (2014)

           There are two characters in this book: A little round and a big square.(Yes. Seriously!). They play this interesting game: transform themselves into the word they say.

       As the two shapes say butterfly, the square splits into two triangles and the circle divides into two semicircles and form the butterfly shape.
