Grandfather Tang's Story (Dragonfly Books) by Ann Tompert

This story is excellent to use for elementary school children as an introduction to tangrams, as part of a geometry unit. Third graders were very intrigued by this book and the tangram activity- they had the option of cutting out the pieces and making different images, or going online to complete tangram puzzles.

Saint Nicholas by Ann Tompert

This story was the tale of Saint Nicholas and all about his life. This book had really beautiful illustrations that looked like stained glass windows and mosaics. This was a wonderful story about Saints and I would like it in my future classroom. Perfect for 3rd-5th grade students
