This book is chalk full of Christmas-themed tangrams to solve, but takes them a step further arranging them within fun activities. 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. Then it includes additional activities such as a tangram matching game, tangram Christmas ornaments to design and decorate, tangram Christmas paradoxes to solve, a couple Daily Tangram puzzles to solve, and more. Cut out the activities directly from the book, or photocopy them on sturdy, colored paper for enhanced enjoyment. </p><p>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/</p><p>Whatever time of year it is, 'tis the season for some Tangram fun!</p>
