The Greedy Triangle
by Marilyn Burns
(Check Catalog )

Dissatisfied with its shape, a triangle keeps asking the local shapeshifter to add more lines and angles until it doesn't know which side is up.

Children's Literature

Burns, a prolific author and respected educational consultant, has written a story that not only teaches about geometric shapes, but also entertains readers of all ages. Offbeat cartoons illustrate the zany goings-on with a triangle who, becoming bored with his appearance, attempts to add excitement to his life by visiting a shapeshifter. Readers and their adult partners will learn some math vocabulary here; and more importantly they'll get to share in the triangle's ultimate realization of its own worth and beauty.
