I love Fleming so much. Her work is just so lively and fun and off-kilter. I am in awe of her visual imagination.
Go, Shapes, Go!

Printed-paper collages made from limited shapes assembled into various arrangements.
So awesome. Our narrator, a little wind-up-mouse, is assembling a collection of shapes. At first we're not quite sure what's going on, as the rectangles and circles assemble and arrange, but pretty soon it becomes clear - we've got a shape-made sock-monkey! Unfortunately for us, Monkey trips, and the shapes have a different animal in mind when they re-assemble, this one with a taste for little toy mousies! Eeek! All's well that ends well, and a new collection of shapes gets added to the cast.
Adorable, quick, and easy to read and follow the illustrations. Also, it's really weird how the monkey manages to look harmless and adorable and like a toy, but the cat actually looks a bit menacing and predatory - they're LITERALLY made from the same shapes! Just amazing.
