One More Try cover

Meet a determined circle who never gives up!

Circle wants to build a tower, just like the squares and hexagons have. But the circles, triangles and diamonds can't build anything together without it tumbling down! A perfectly shaped follow up the bestselling The Perfect Fit.Circle loves the tower that the squares and hexagons have built and wants to make his own. But circles, diamonds and triangles are pointier, rounder and much wobblier - making a tower is not as easy as it looks! The shapes try and try but their tower just keeps tumbling down. Can Circle persuade them to have just one more try? In this perfectly shaped follow up to the bestselling The Perfect Fit geometry meets brilliant storytelling and vibrant artwork.

One More Try is a beautifully simple exploration of the art of never giving up and the benefits of a fresh perspective. * Joseph Coelho, Waterstones Children's Laureate 2022-2024 *
My 5 year old and I loved it! Sweet, clever, and engaging. * Harriet Muncaster, Author and Illustrator of the Isadora Moon series *
A lovely (and very clever!) story about problem-solving, perseverance, and the magic of a gentle switch in perspective. * Rashmi Sirdeshpande, Author *
A delightfully playful book on problem-solving, perseverance and team work which will encourage young readers to think outside the box. * Steve Antony, Author and Illustrator *
This book is simply wonderful. It's a superb introduction to two-dimensional shapes and their properties as well as being colourful and fun. The illustrations are adorable (the cute faces of the shapes - oh my!) and the pages are vibrant and full of activity and colour... A story of determination and resilience at its heart, with mathematics at its core (and your child doesn't even realise it - win, win!), this book is a true triumph. * Mini Travellers Blog *
A beautiful and engaging story about a friendship group of shapes who never give up in their quest for succeeding with what they want to achieve. It's a fabulous tale of perseverance and team-work, and of having endless possibilities. A wonderful picture book that is gorgeously illustrated and has a heart-warming and uplifting storyline. Highly recommended. * Tom (Bookseller) at Waterstones Chippenham *
