Miguel Ordonez

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.

A board-book feast of colors, shapes, counting, and food. Uncluttered pages feature little to no background detail in the appealing art, which presents simple, colorful shapes... The resulting "feast" on the last page offers a final laugh when the ants reassemble the shapes to silly results. Playful fare for toddlers.

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... the final smorgasbord amuses with a vision of remixed dishes.

Inviting text and winsome cardboard collage illustrations come together in an appealing food-themed guessing game. Readers are presented with a set of deconstructed shapes and invited to predict the food they will form once the page is turned... Children will relish the enterprising ant characters and the winning interactive component. This generous graphic concept book will benefit all collections.
