Seeing Patterns All Around
Series of 6 titles
Spots on a Dalmatian. The alternating colors on subway seats. A row of snowmen in an icy field. What do these things have in common? They're all patterns! This series, developed especially for beginning readers, clearly and simply describes the many types of patterns found in different environments--from dusty deserts, sunny parks, and busy cities, to sandy seashores, dense jungles, and frosty snow scenes. Each 32-page book features controlled text with age-appropriate vocabulary and simple sentence construction. Eye-catching photos that dramatically illustrate each kind of pattern ensure that early readers won't want to let go of these irresistible books!

Seeing Patterns All Around
There’s beauty, humor, and elements of surprise in the fine photographs featured here. Simultaneously simple and complex, these small, thoughtfully constructed books supply an introduction to the concept of patterns to six different environments. Each spread pairs a brief explanation with a view illustrating a pattern seen in nature or created by humans (striped, alternating, irregular, spiral, checkerboard, dotted, and more). Pigeons on a fence, a curled up millipede, an elaborately striped street intersection, and flip-flops on the beach demonstrate varied types. A short reader quiz and picture glossary round out the books, making them ideal for a variety of uses, from the classroom to family reading. These offerings will induce smiles, spark useful conversations, and lead to repeated viewings.
