520 Two competitive fox fairies go through rapid physical
transformations until a hunter's arrow reminds them of
their true friendship. This original tangram tale is
framed by the loving relationship between a grandfather
and granddaughter as they share the story under the shade
of an old tree, and culminates in a tangram of an old man
and a girl likewise resting. Tangrams, ancient Chinese
puzzles in which a square is cut into seven traditional
pieces (each called a tan), are arranged into patterns
used to help tell the story. Parker's watercolor washes
complement the text, adding energy and tension, as well as
evoking oriental brushwork technique. However, the text is
strong enough to stand on its own, and will be valued by
storytellers and listeners alike
