What is Moonchap about?

Moonchap is searching for somewhere new to live when he meets Square and Circle, who offer to share their island. But the two shapes are very different: Square likes everything neat and tidy, while Circle prefers fun and freedom. Their arguments grow until they tear each other in two. Moonchap tries to repair them, but accidentally creates two brand-new shapes. As they discover what it feels like to be different, Square and Circle learn that friendship, cooperation and a little understanding can make life much happier.
