REVIEW

The Tangram Zoo and Word Puzzles Too! by Bette A. Stevens

January 2, 2018

Very Clever! 

I bought this book to give as a gift to my grandchildren. Reading through the book before giving it to them, I found it taught me a few things, too. First, I had no idea a tangram is a seven-piece puzzle with specific shapes. A pattern is provided to cut out and get started along with the history of it. There are many ways to put the pieces together, but the book supplies shapes to make– with clues or riddles as to what they are. Although, this is a very clever and educational book for children, I appreciated the added bonus that an adult can sit down and enjoy it with the kids! ~D.L. Finn, author

    Puzzles are one of my favorite activities with my grandchildren. I always give my grandchildren books on holidays and so, since Valentine’s Day looms in the not so distant future, I will purchase your book for one of them. Should I give it to my 8 year old or 4 year old?

      Thanks so much for checking out THE TANGRAM ZOO…, Bernadette. I would suggest the Tangram activity book for your oldest Grand. It’s great for families too, so even little ones can enjoy learning about the animals in the zoo and listening to the riddles too. Thanks so much for your support, my friend. Here’s wishing you and the Grands a Very Happy Valentine’s Day and many days of puzzling fun with the zoo… ❤ xo

      Hi, Michelle. Thanks so much for your awesome support–hope that you and your Grand Gal enjoy The Zoo… I had never heard of National Puzzle Day until Rave Reviews Book Club emailed me with a list of days to celebrate so that we could connect them with books. #RRBC Rocks and so do you, dear friend! ❤ ❤ ❤ Blessings and hugs.

    You are a woman of MANY talents. I need this book for my grandkids, when I spend hours playing with them. I’m not good with puzzles (I run out of patience too quickly). Maybe this will train me! 🙂

    I have a version like this on my Lumosity mind games but I can never do the ones on paper. Must be the dyslexia lol. It does fascinate me though

    I know I would love these puzzles. We had a game similar to this when my son was young and we both loved it.
