Grandfather Tang's Story (Dragonfly Books)

Grandfather Tang's Story (Dragonfly Books)

This folktale told using ancient Chinese puzzles and watercolor illustrations has been beloved for over twenty-five years and is the perfect addition to your Father's Day reading list!

When Little Soo asks for a story, Grandfather Tang arranges the tangram pieces and two magic fox fairies spring to life. The foxes change shapes as quick as a wink, from rabbits to dogs to squirrels and geese. But their game turns dangerous when a hunter raises his bow. . . .

Originally published in 1990, Grandfather Tangâ€™s Story will continue to delight new readers as the wonder of the tangram puzzleâ€”and an endearing game between a grandfather and his granddaughterâ€”reveals a story of magic, clever animals, and, ultimately, true friendship.
