From a Publisher's Weekly starred review:

"Kuskin's 1960 text, Square as a House, gets a new title and, thanks to Iwai's (B Is for Bulldozer) velvety, fanciful pictures, a new lease on life. With a bespectacled, wide-eyed boy serving as a pretend tour guide, the book unfolds in a series of rhyming "What if" musings."

"If you could be green, would you be a lawn or a lean green bean and the stalk it's on?" "If you could be blue, would you be the sky or some early clouds and three birds up high? Or one blue eye that winks at me? Tell me, big blue one, what would you be?" "If you could be red would you be a car that races the wind? Or jam in a jar or an acrobat's tights with a hole in the knee?" "If you could be fierce and roar with rage would you be a tiger and pace your cage?"
