There are shapes and patterns everywhere you look. “Shapes and Patterns” is a photographic walk through nature to find commonality in shapes and/or patterns between animals, plants and other objects.

Parent’s Comments:

My son really did like this book. You can’t tell by what he said, but more by what he did. When we turned the page to a new shape, he took my pencil and starting drawing his own version.  Each shape and picture inspired him to make his own. The photographs are so beautiful that I almost forgot to read some of the captions. I think “Shapes & Patterns” is a wonderfully laid out book for helping minds think beyond the common and see the commonality in all things.
