Bookroo's summary

A triangle, yearning for change, seeks a shapeshifter to transform into a quadrilateral, then a pentagon, and beyond. As it gains more angles, it discovers that more isn't always better. Will the triangle find contentment in its original form, or will the allure of transformation lead to unforeseen consequences? Dive into this geometric journey where identity and satisfaction take center stage.

From the publisher

A triangle, dissatisfied with its shape, goes to a shapeshifter to be changed to a quadrilateral. The shape changes to a pentagon, then a hexagon, a heptagon, and so on, finally learning that being a triangle is best after all. Used in Math By All Means: Geometry, Grades 3-4 and Math and Literature, Book Two.
