Reviews
""Mr. Round and Mr. Square are next-door neighbors who are different in many ways. Fitti's illustrations cleverly make everything from the house to the car to the flowers to the pets correspond to the owner’s shape. Beyond the differences in looks, the two neighbors also have opposite points of view (literally!) about almost everything. They cannot agree on whether a car is coming or going, if a bird is near or far, the order of animals in a line, or even the color of a penguin. The illustrations show the reasons for these disagreements: a car zooms toward one house and away from the other, a bird hovers close to one house and far from the other, Mr. Round and Mr. Square live at opposite ends of the animal lineup, and the penguin's black back faces one house while its white belly faces the other. Together, the text and the illustrations offer a robust and amusing opportunity to explore why people might have varying ideas about the world, without becoming didactic. In the end, the neighbors do agree on two facts: Mr. Square is square, and Mr. Round is round. A fabulous fable about points of view and a creative lesson on opposites."" — Starred review, Booklist
