Grandfather Tang's Story by Robert Andrew Parker, Ann Tompert

5.0

This book is so fun! The story is action packed with messages about games that get out of hand and true friendship. This story is told within another sweet story about a girl and her grandfather. I took the time to make the tangrams with my daughter and it was a lot of fun. It slowed the pace of the story a bit and gave us a chance to fiddle around with geometry. At the conclusion of the book, the author has written a micro-history of tangrams and included some information about Chinese folklore, specifically, fairy foxes. How cool are Fairy Foxes? With life spans of up to 1000 years! Neat.
