[A] striking exploration of shapes, colors, and patterns . . . The artwork is particularly distinctive, comprised of brightly hued, stylized shapes and objects created from cut-and-collaged, hand-painted papers digitally assembled on white backgrounds. . . . [Circle Under Berry is] an appealing choice for emerging readers [and] the emphasis on prepositions will aid English language learners as well. --Booklist Reviews Using hand-painted paper to create brilliantly hued, shape-based forms that appear against a clean white backdrop, Higgins (Bikes for Sale) economically examines ways to observe color, shape, pattern, and position. . . . [D]rawing readers' attention while achieving real grace as the items resolve into origami-like forms. . . Higgins offers seeds of conversations about naming and classification. --Publishers Weekly, starred review [V]isually striking. . . carefully assembled. . . [and] inspired by an Eric Carle aesthetic. . . [Circle Under Berry] possesses a pleasing rhythm and subtle rhymes, positively begging to be read aloud: 'circle next to berry / square by bear by sweet // blue up high / pig down low / yellow in between.' Satisfying, engaging, and sure to entertain the toddlers at whom it is aimed. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
