"Drawing on a Chinese form of storytelling with seven shapes cut from a square of paper, Tompert recounts the tale of two fox fairies. Parker's pen-and-watercolor art adds drama, while the tangram insets will motivate children to try their own versions."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.

Great book in many respects

When I came across this book, I was in the midst of planning for an Autumn Moon event. We are having a tangram craft, and the book contains great illustrations of animal tangrams. The story is very imaginative while leading you through a series of changing animal characters. Although simple reading, I think there is still appeal for children over the age of 7 because of the introduction of the ancient Chinese art of tangram puzzles. The book also contains instructions for making your own puzzles.

Grandfather Tang's Story

Love this story. I use this book in my math class to teach tangrams. This is an excellent resource to use to teach children how the Chinese puzzle tangrams work. This book was in excellent condition when I received it and I know that I will use it for years to come.

another gift for a 6yr. old

This is a delightful book and with the tangrams it makes a great gift for a child.

parallel and perpendicular lines

You can use this bbok to introduce parallel and perpendicular lines.

Great book

As a teacher I have used this book when we study ancient China. It is also great to use in math and have the children make tangrams. It is always a surprise with what child makes a complete square with them first. The story keeps their attention and is a quick read.
