I kind of expected to dislike this. I like the idea of shape picture books, but I'm pretty that's not really what this one was going to be about and it wasn't. Instead it kind of ended up being a statement on the genius of modern art, or at least that's the way I took it. And not listening to other people. And doing meaningless work. It really wasn't clear how much of this was my interpretation. The text and art were a bit lame, which goes to show that it doesn't take much for meaning to appear - a bit like looking at clouds. 3.5 of 5.
