my first book of patterns

Children are commonly taught to recognize

colours and shapes from a very early age, so

why not patterns? Stripes, polka dots, plaids,

and more are featured in this first-ever patterns

concept book that provides readers with the

vocabulary to name what they see in the world

around them. The ten most prevalent patterns

are presented first as a single element (This

is a circle ...), then as a pattern ( ... a lot of circles

make polka dots!). Each graphic, full-bleed

pattern is followed up with a stylish illustration

featuring the pattern applied to a full scene

( ... a polka-dotted meal!). Conceived by

educators, this pitch-perfect introduction to

patterns will engage the artistic, mathematical,

and linguistic parts of every young child's mind.
