Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 2–4—This attractive picture book is a colorful addition for general collections but can be used to expand a math or social studies library. Relying on a conversational tone and using relatable examples from a wide variety of cultures, the author draws in readers easily as he discusses concepts related to patterns while also tying in social studies, nature, and math vocabulary. Strategically placed questions ("What flips can you find in these patterns?") will engage kids further (an answer key is included at the end). Children are introduced to a wide variety of concepts: math-related ones, such as symmetry and reflection, as well as those that are tied to specific cultures—African mud cloths or the Pantheon's dome in Rome. Bold, striking photographs of everyday objects, such as tiles, mosaics, bee hives, animals, cars, cathedrals, and seashells are used to support the text. Informational text boxes titled "MathSpeak" provide greater detail throughout on topics such as symmetry and scaling. An excellent overview.—Tracey Wong, P.S. 54/Fordham Bedford Academy, Bronx, NY

I’ve been a writer since I was a kid growing up in Ohio, but I’ve always dabbled in art and design as well. These days, my main job is writing textbooks, but I also do graphics for a New York theater company. I’m thrilled that I found a way to combine these interests in my own books.

Starting with the Great Estimations series, I’ve had a lot to do with how my books look. For those two books, I was the photo stylist, which meant I got to spend hours counting and arranging macaroni elbows, google eyes, fake cockroaches, and rubber ducks. And then beginning with 100 Ways to Celebrate 100 Days, I started taking some photos for my books, too. (I don’t have much room here, so if you see a photo of something like an elephant in one of my books, chances are pretty good that I didn’t take that one.)

Books have always been a big part of my life, from buying dusty old paperbacks in any used bookstore I could find to my first job, shelving books as a page at the Shaker Heights Public Library. I even love that word: I was a page!

In 2002, I decided it was about time I learned to speak a foreign language, so I started taking Spanish lessons. One of the biggest joys of this ongoing project/struggle has been learning to read literature in another language. These days I feel just as proud and excited to finish a book in Spanish as I did when I first read Half Magic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, or The Once and Future King.

Oh, about those textbooks. I’ve written thousands of pages in pretty much any subject you can think of, from reading and math to social studies and science. I try to make them as interesting as possible, but even so, I’d like to officially apologize for any math problems or grammar worksheets that any of my readers found particularly annoying.

Lot more text that expected.

This book seemed like a great kindergarten book, but it has a lot more text than I thought it would be. Great for first grade.

Used in my Pre-K classroom for a lesson on patterns. Students loved it. It helped them notice other types of patterns & think outside the box.

Janet Hamilton

Excellent introduction to the math and art of patterns

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2015

Summary: Patterns can be made in many different ways. This book looks at some of them, such as sliding, rotating, flipping, squishing, and stretching. Photos show examples of different types of patterns occurring in nature and works of art from around the world. “MathSpeak” boxes give mathematical terms for the different ways patterns are created. The last two pages show ways to create patterns of your own. Grades K-3.

Pros: An excellent introduction to patterns that could be used for both math and art. The pages are appealing with plenty of white space between the colorful photos.

Cons: Although patterns seem cool and fun, I never really understood why they were emphasized quite so much in the elementary math curriculum
