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.

A pig, two pigs, three... We all know about this story.
Here we are not only a wolf but also a tangram!
A wonderful idea!
The tangram is here to help the pigs.
The pig that success the best to use this tangram
will be the winner and will have many children!
The addition of the tangram made more attractive
this beautiful story. 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.

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.

This is a wonderful book that uses the story of the Three Little Pigs to introduce tangrams. Students enjoy the twist to a well-known story. They like to recreate the animals and objects in the story with their own set of tangrams.

Nice story with tangram characters. As such this book can be used to introduce tangrams to kids. I did not like the version of the story where wolf eats two pigs (!two dramatic for 3-year old!) and only the smartest one survives. I change the story when I tell/read it. My son likes to make tangram shapes.

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.
