Description

Step outside. Let's find designs— / branching, cracking, spirals, lines. / Search the earth, the seas, the air. / Patterns, patterns everywhere.

Look around and discover patterns in the natural world! You might see them in leaf veins, in coral reefs, in sand dunes, and in many other places. Rhyming verse is accompanied by stunning photographs and brief sidebars that explain how these different patterns form.

This book contains beautiful pictures of patterns in nature, as well as beautiful verse to accompany them. There are further sidebars of information on each page, as well as back matter. It is simple. but very effective.

This book has such gorgeous photographs! If you’re learning about patterns or nature, this is a great book to add to your list. The main text is rhyming and then there is more information about the type of pattern and now/why it is created. There were lots of different examples of patterns in nature. At the end there are also activities you can do to find/record patterns in nature.

Thank you NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group for the opportunity to review this book prior to publication.

Patterns Everywhere is a children's nature book. It has beautiful photographs to illustrate many different types of patterns found in our world, from ripples in sand, coral formations, ocean foam, and rock layers to snowflakes and mud cracks. The book is geared toward younger elementary students. The ideas are simple and clear. Some more difficult words are used but are explained in the text or the glossary at the back of the book. I think this is a wonderful way to expand the reading levels, making the book more interesting for advanced readers as well as explaining things for younger readers who want to learn more. I believe books of this type encourage parents to learn more so they can explain or elaborate on ideas to their children, or better yet, learn along with them. The book is designed to make children more observant, finding patterns of their own in the world around them. It is a wonderful idea and the book is beautifully put together.
Lisa Varchol Perron wears many hats - wife, parent, nature lover, psychotherapist with specialized training in child and adolescent development - but has loved writing since she was a child (her first elementary school story was Wilma the Washing Machine) and has recently decided to share that love with a career as a published author. My opinion is that she is uniquely qualified for this role, not the least because she remembers the joys of a childhood spent outdoors, being active and reading. I hope we see more of this type of book from Ms. Varchol Perron. Thank you to NetGalley and Millbrook Press for the ARC.

Beautiful non-fiction picture book with stunning photos of patterns in nature covering everything from sand dunes to seashells. Great tie-in to elementary math skills. Helpful back matter includes activities for finding patterns in your own backyard. Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read early.
