Describes the wide variety of patterns found throughout the plant and animal world including the petals of flowers, stripes of zebras, and scales of cones.

Stripes, polka dots, plaid, chevron, 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!).

Simple text and photographs introduce moon phases, including why they occur and what they are called.
