Patterns, Patterns, Everywhere

There is much more to a book than the words on its pages. In Patterns, Patterns Everywhere by Kellie Menendez, children explore colors, shapes, and patterns found in the world around them. "I see patterns everywhere, patterns BIG and small. They fill the pages of this book –– can you find them all?"

Outside, you will find patterns everywhere. Whether it's flowers, leaves, or trunks of trees, patterns are everywhere.

Some patterns can be heard when you close your eyes. The barking of a dog, Woof, woof, woof, or the sound of an owl, Woo, woo, woo.

Colorful patterns adorn the feathers and wings of birds and butterflies.

When you play outside, you see patterns and make them. You create a back and forth pattern as you swing on a swing. Every time you take a step, your shoes make a rhythmic beat.

Colors and patterns abound in big cities. Buildings have patterns that architects design that make them unique.

Pajamas you wear to bed, as well as the clothes you wear every day, often have patterns.

Visiting museums and libraries is a great way to find patterns. In the art lining the walls and in the books lining the shelves, patterns are found everywhere.

Anything that repeats is a pattern. Colorful lines on a piece of paper or the beat of your favorite song can form patterns. There are many different kinds of patterns: shapes, sounds, numbers, words, and even emotions. There is a lot of similarity between a pattern and a puzzle. It helps you predict what will come next, sort things based on color, or sort them by size. Patterns are everywhere.

There are patterns all around us, they are everywhere we look. There are lots of patterns to discover throughout the pages of this book, which will appeal to children as they listen to it being read. Then, go outside or take a field trip to a museum, zoo, or around town to find more patterns. The possibilities are endless when crafting with children with patterns. This book is fantastic and I highly recommend it.
