Frida and Bear Play the Shape Game!

Anthony Browne, Hanne Bartholin, illustrated by Anthony Browne, Hanne Bartholin

Frida, an elephant, and Bear enjoy drawing together. They challenge each other to transform unusual shapes into pictures, making the shape game part of their play. Readers are invited to try the same activity by using shapes as starting points for drawings. The book's mixed-media art accompanies this exchange between the two friends. Drawing and imagining new pictures grow directly from the odd forms they are given.
