Review

A fence is an obvious choice for demonstrating farm patterns, as are rows of crops, but how about tractor tire treads or a row of icicles hanging from the eave of a barn? These are but a few of the techniques employed to aid the reader in discovering patterns in real life. Once patterns are very simply defined, the text takes the reader on a colorful romp through the world of farming to find field and fence, machine, and farm animal patterns. Young readers will likely not realize that their fun-filled read, which uses full-page, full-color photography and clear, simple text, is actually helping them build foundational math skills.  Geared toward first grade level readers, this book in the A+ series will appeal to pre-kindergarten students through second graders. Like most in the nonfiction genre, the book s format includes a table of contents, glossary, and index. Bonus features include a bibliography, a guide to internet sites, and farm pattern facts sections. --Children's Literature, January 2007
