Look review

 

This lyrical, timely picture book with beautiful diorama illustrations shows that if you really look, you never know what the world might give you to see.(goodreads summary)

 

 

 

 

 

Our world is full of many colors, shapes and sizes.  But if you stop and take a look around what other things can you see?  

 

This unique book guides readers to take a closer look and observe their surroundings for patterns.  You can find stripes on a chair or a cat's tail walking on a picket fence.  How about an alternating pattern of big and small rocks or new patterns such as zigzags.  Some are easy and some are hard but if you stop and look there are so many things to find.   The best part of this book are the illustrations done in vibrant bold colors and paper cut outs. It is a unique concept that kids will want to keep looking at the details.   Information can be found at the back of the book on pattern types and some recommended activities to try. It works wonderful for classroom learning as well.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 4-8.
