The quest for a tangram dragon - christine liu-perkins

A clever and charming introduction to the Tangram puzzle, a classic Chinese shape puzzle thats beloved in early math curriculum.

A brave Little Triangle seeks a Chinese dragon to end the long drought.

On the quest, Little Triangle meets other shapes who want to help.

Using the magic of tangrams, the shapes do amazing things together: Two triangles flip and flap to make a butterfly! With a square, they swap and swivel to make a bat! Four shapes jump and bump to become a bird.

But theres still no sign of the dragon they need.

When they reach a mountain, no matter how much they hop and plop, huddle and muddle, or leap and heap, the shapes cant find a way to the top.

How will they ever find the dragon theyre searching for? Author Christine Liu-Perkins and illustrator Lynn Scurfield celebrate tangrams in this clever and warm-hearted story about the power of persistence and teamwork.

The book includes tangram shapes for readers to cut out, so they can play with their very own tangram puzzle!.
