Summary: Great Fun
Review: I usually wait until the year-end sales to pick up a calendar at half price. When I saw this desk calendar, however, I bought it right away - I didn't want to take a chance on it selling out before I got around to buying it.Once home, I couldn't wait until January to open it and check it out. The individual pages aren't bound together, so I've set the December pages to the front. Having played with it for a few days I'm not at all disappointed in having spent more money than usual for my desk calendar. Each large, colorful sheet has the outline of a tangram puzzle and it's your job to figure out how to put the pieces (different sized triangles, a parallelogram, and a square) in place. A sturdy magnetic sheet is provided; keep it several sheets behind the current page so the magnetic tangram pieces stick. The answer to each day's puzzle appears on the next day's sheet. Saturday and Sunday share a single puzzle that requires two sets of tangram pieces to complete (half the puzzle is shaded so you can solve half the puzzle, then reuse the pieces for the other half). The puzzles don't repeat, so every day is a new challenge (the obvious solution usually doesn't work). This calendar is larger than most and is not designed for wall mounting. The supporting frame is not as sturdy as I'd like; a minor inconvenience easily fixed with a piece of double-stick tape. Don't wait and miss out. If you're a puzzle fan get this desk calendar today.
