A gently humorous book in which groups of fish are described by their bobbing, gliding, swishing movements until...shark! But this is also a wonderfully on target math concept book. Kids are encouraged to recognize patterns, which are everywhere -- in the colors of the fish, the backgrounds, the text, and the borders. A note to readers in the back of the book identifies even more patterns to look for!

Patterns galore! In this book for young children, the concept of patterns is delightfully introduced with both graphics and text. The text indicates the pattern to be discovered through repeated words, and the illustrations reinforce the pattern with many different cues such as the other objects in the scene and the borders around the first piece of art in each pattern. An additional learning readiness skill -- prediction -- is also effectively used in this book.
