#HeyJune Day 25: A cleverly-crafted #GotToGetYouIntoMyLife picturebook. A straight-if-not-slightly-boring-and-predictable Line has fallen in love with a frivolous-and-just-a-wee-bit superficial Circle, who refuses to give Line her time of the day, as she much prefers the “wild and unkempt squiggle” who lives for the moment.

In "The Dot and the Line," our hero (the Line) wins over his love interest (the Dot) from a no-goodnik Squiggle by wowing her with his geometric prowess -- like this enigmatic figure -- creating both literal and figurative #lovetriangles

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds like it should be a sequel to 8y
Yossarian @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Flatland didn't have any good sex scenes. 8y

Yossarian @tpixie It's a picture book -- aimed at a much younger crowd -- but it's got the same sensibility. 8y
tpixie @Yossarian thx! In order it for my son- who adored The Phantom Tollbooth! My daughter, a high school math teacher, may need it also! Lol 😆 8y

Fun! I liked how the line discovered new aspects of himself (that's the psychologist in me)!
