Indulge in the captivating world of colours! Dive into the world of the diverse shapes and patterns that are hiding everywhere in nature.

Nature and colours again? Why not! You'd be surprised how often the same shapes and patterns are repeated in nature. What is shaped like a heart or a star around us? Which animal, mineral, or plant is pointed and which of them wears wavy shapes? The ground, underground, even the deep dark seas are teeming with waves, dots, stripes, playful spots, curly spirals, and complicated patterns. Even the tiniest ones have a place in nature and a reason to be there. Camouflage patterns help animals blend in with their surroundings, while the more distinct ones serve them during courtship or when spooking an intruder. Discover marvellous shapes and patterns you can find all around you. The first book in this series was selected by the Wall Street Journal in the ""Best Picture Books for Kids."""

Reviews for Shapes and Patterns in Nature

Walk into the magical world of colorful flowers, ornamental leaves, picturesquely shaped stones and unexpectedly patterned animals and let them all embrace you. This charmingly illustrated book will invite you in to offer you painted poetry and will be a jewel of your bookcase from the inside out. Great inspiration for young artists as well! Beautiful illustrations. Tons of information on each page without information overload. A good quick reference. Debbie Buck, Vintage Books I would recommend this book for the beautiful illustrations alone. Patrons will enjoy looking at the images. There is so much on each page that it can be reread over and over. Amanda B, Librarian This is a simple picture book with very little text, The illustrations are very well done as well as beautiful. I believe this is a book that can be enjoyed by readers of any age, whether just looking at the pictures or truly studying them. NetGalley-Educator
