This book is interesting because Valere Marsh use the tangram to tell stories. But the new shapes she added aren't always easy to cut (in cardboard).There are legends and folktales ("Jack & the bean tree", "The legend of Scarface", The lion & the mouse", "Why the sun & moon live in the sky" and others) and stories about science and history ("The discovery of silk", "Penicillin", "The history of Pizza", "Volcanoes", "Beautiful but poisonous butterflies"...). There are 20 stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars DES HISTOIRES ET UN TANGRAM DE 13 pièces, April 9, 2000

Ce livre de 78 pages m'a attiré car l'auteur utilise le tangram pour raconter des histoires. Cependant les formes nouvelles qu'elle a ajoutées ne sont pas toutes si bien. Celle qui est en forme de coque de bateau est difficile à découper avec un cutter! Il y a des légendes, des histoires connues et aussi d'autres histoires sur des découvertes ou sur l'histoire d'un plat. Le livre contient 20 histoires.
