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
