Patterns in Nature looks at the different types of patterns you can find in the natural world. Each two page spread has one or two simple sentences and a color photograph. It explains that a pattern is an order that is repeated. It then looks at several different types of patterns. I think as an introduction about patterns, it would be nice to include what the pattern is, as they did on the page about the macaws. The picture glossary at the end is helpful for students to identify the bold words in the text.
