Old MacDonald had a tangram The Tangram Fury Farm Book has a series of original puzzles representing fun images of people, animals, buildings and other farm items all done up as tangram puzzles. In this book, you'll find tangram puzzles of critters and things one might find on a farm. These include dogs, cats, horses, a pig, roosters, a sneaky fox, chickens, roosters, a bull, and other critters. It also includes a farmhouse, barn, silos, and such. Of course, there are also farmers (complete with one dancing in his overalls) and a sweet lady laboring over a butter churn.New Edition: The contents of this book have been updated to include a grid for solving the puzzles inside the book. The puzzles range in difficulty throughout the book. Some are more challenging than others. All puzzles have solutions using the same 7 tans (shapes). The puzzles can be solved by drawing on the grid, or by using the tangram template provided in the book to make physical tangram pieces (tans).Note that the printed version of the book has the solutions in grayscale (black and white). Only the electronic version of the book has the solutions in color.Tangrams are ancient Chinese, ingenious puzzles. They are deceptively simple in design, yet can stump even the most seasoned of puzzlers. Then, the light clicks on and the answer suddenly seems so obvious. It's amazing that so many puzzles can be solved with the exact same 7 shapes. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical Christmas-theme puzzles to solve, and their solutions, and the activities. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. (Can you solve the unsolvable "Mad Hatter" tangram created by Lewis Carroll?) It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books are largely the same in all books in the series, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique.This book series was featured on the NewsWatch TV program on Discovery Channel: http: //newswatchtv.com/2015/12/18/tangram-fury/Bringing tangrams into the 21st Century
