What Can I Be?

(3) PS Illustrated by Ingrid Fiksdahl King. "I'm round" announces a white circle and "I'm red" says a red swath, followed by "What can I be?" Illustrations of an apple and other round red objects provide answers, after which readers are prodded to imagine combining additional shapes and colors. The book's bravura illustrations (e.g., overlapping kite strings conjure a mobile by Alexander Calder) may inspire not just imagination but artistic output.
