'As you'd expect from Bodleian Children's Books, they have a distinctly vintage feel that makes them utterly irresistible. … the striking colour palette and illustrations in 'What is Round?' will immediately transport you back to the 1950s which is when these books were first published ... It's a quirky take on the usual shape book format and the traditional text and stylish, retro pictures combine for a wonderfully whimsical mix. ... These timeless treasures would be a beautiful addition to any child's collection. We loved them!' * Armadillo Magazine *
