Product Description
Bored and dissatisfied with his life, a triangle visits a local shapeshifter to add another angle to his shape. Poof! He becomes a quadrilateral. But then he gets greedy and keeps adding angles until he's completely transformed. Kids will enjoy this boldly colorful introduction to shapes and basic math concepts.

Now available in Scholastic Bookshelf editions, the Brainy Day Books have been developed by nationally acclaimed math educator and best-selling author Marilyn Burns. Using entertaining fictional stories, these books dispel the myth that math is dry, inaccessible, and unimaginative. At the end of each book, there's a special section that further outlines math concepts and provides questions to further engage children.

4 out of 5 stars Good first book for children learning about shapes   May 21, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a very cute book about shapes and is perfect as an introduction for children who have moved beyond basic circles, squares, and ovals. It introduces children to the triangle and works its way up to a decadron (although it defines a dodecadron at the back of the book when the story is over). I liked how it showed children where different shapes can be found in everyday life, and how a shape morphs just from adding one more side to an already existing shape. The story is cute, and it is a much nicer way for children to learn about shapes than most of the standard books that just show a drawing of something and then show a word to describe the object.


3 out of 5 stars Cute and educational!   May 10, 2008
What an adorable book! This is a great way to teach geometry, and the colors are amazing. I as a teacher appreciate the obvious math connections, but on the deeper level you can make this a story of being true to yourself and recognizing your own greatness (truly, the triangle is indeed one of the strongest shapes despite having a mere three sides). The shapes come to life, especially the title Triangle, and the reader becomes both annoyed and supportive of him as he goes through his bizarre and clever journey through the world of geometry. Adorable story and gorgeous illustrations.


5 out of 5 stars Love it!   March 4, 2008
It is a great way to learn about shapes for kids! With a little moral to the story! :)


5 out of 5 stars The Greedy Triangle still rocks!   March 1, 2008
The paperback version of Marilyn Burns' tale of a dissatisfied triangle is bright, colorful and full of real life references. Children grasp the concepts of polygons and their uses through this fun story of a triangle who ends up alienating its friends after visiting the shapeshifter far too many times. Discovering in the end, "there's no place like home!"Greedy Triangle (Scholastic Bookshelf)


4 out of 5 stars Help your child enjoy math   September 6, 2007
I really liked this book - very whimsical! It would be great for kids who are just learning about shapes as well as those who need to review.
