Customer Reviews

buy it, it is good

We were given this book as a hand me down and because we love it so much we have purchased it twice as a gift. Not only is it a cute story, but it also offers itself as an activity for your child. Great book, great buy. We recommend it! Reading is always good and how great that it is more than just a book.

My children (4 and 7) are delighted:they help me very well. The figures (duck, cat, rabbit,candle,swan, house and boat) are relatively easy to make.

un tangram bien employé

Un cochon, deux cochons, trois.... Nous connaissons tous cette histoire. Ici nous avons en plus du loup, aussi un tangram! Très bonne idée! Le tangram est là pour aider les cochons. Le cochon qui réussira le mieux à utiliser le tangram sortira gagnant et aura beaucoup d'enfants! L'AJOUT DU TANGRAM N'A FAIT QU'EMBELLIR CETTE BELLE HISTOIRE. Mes enfants sont ravis et ont pu activement participer à l'histoire. Les figures (canard, chat, lapin, bougie, cygne, maison et bateau) sont relativement faciles à réaliser.

An Excellent Introduction

This book is an excellent introduction to tangrams and geometric shapes for young children. The reader learns the names of the geometric shapes as well as seeing several pictures made from tangrams as part of the story. The book includes a set of cardboard tangrams so the reader can replicate the shapes in the book (such as a boat, bunny, cat) and also make up new ones. Good suggestions are included for parents and teachers on how to use the materials for students at different ability levels.
