| Patterns are everywhere in nature. There are patterns in a cat's fur and a bird's feathers. There are patterns in leaves and flowers. Some patterns are big, like the bands on a rainbow, or small, like the rings in a spider's web. By observing patterns, children learn to identify geometric shapes and designs. Patterns help children grasp basic mathematic principles. But looking for patterns in nature is also great fun, and develops in children an appreciation of the world's natural beauty. Steve Swinburne's lively photographs show children a wide range of nature's exquisite designs. He invites children to open their eyes and look for patterns in water and on land, in the air and on the ground, and in their own neighborhoods. They will see the world as they've never seen it before. |
