Pattern Fish

Patterns are found in math, reading, science, music, art, dance, and poetry--and in the world all around us.

They are also found in this delightful book written by educator Trudy Harris. Children will love the humor and predictability of this story, and teachers and parents alike will appreciate the pattern hunt that will send kids back into the book looking for more patterns again and again.

Here's a perfect set of books to build reading skills for a content area in which it is sometimes difficult to find literary resources: mathematics.

In each of these unique volumes, poetry, stories, and trivia combine to illustrate math principles for young readers. The lighthearted illustrations and storylines show students how fascinating the world of numbers and math concepts can be.

Trudy Harris writes books that both educate and entertain. She has written a number of successful math concept books, including: Pattern Bugs, 20 Hungry Piggies, Jenny Found a Penny,  The Clock Struck One, and Tally Cat Keeps Track. Trudy loves reading picture books to her grandchildren and to her elementary students in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
