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. The Tangram Fury Alphabet Book has a series of puzzles representing each uppercase and lowercase letter from the English alphabet. Just like the other books in the Tangram Fury puzzle series, it has a series of puzzles arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or odd alphabet-themed 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.
