"The husband-and-wife team behind Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature demystify the concept of fractals, which mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot used to help understand complicated shapes in nature...This fascinating exploration should awaken readers’ powers of observation and appreciation for the intricacies of nature."

"This slim, attractive volume makes clear the appearance and significance of Fibonacci numbers in nature, both through simple, precise explanations and eye-catching photographs."
School Library Journal

"A snail may seem an unlikely candidate for most ferocious predator, but the wolfsnail certainly deserves consideration. … A few lines of text per page accompany bright, close-up color photographs that not only detail the snail's search for its prey (leaf-eating snails and slugs leave detectable trails of slime), but also the prey's demise."
