Opis

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 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 includes 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. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical puzzles to solve. The book is arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. 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 in this series are essentially the same, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique. Most of the puzzles have been designed by the author, Doug Nufer.
