Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert illustrated by Robert Andrews Parker*

A Tale Told with Tangrams
While Grandfather shares a story with Little Soo, he creates pictures out of shapes to illustrate the story.  Two foxes, Chou and Wu Ling, try to outdo each other by transforming into creatures.  Soon Chou is changing into creatures which can kill Wu Ling.  Will the friends desire to outsmart each other be their demise?
The reader is invited to create the creatures out of tangrams as the story is being read.  The outline of the tangrams is provided in the back of the book.
Word choice is excellent.
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
