Elizabeth Bird, A Fuse #8 Production
Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature is “the newest picture book format math book to add to your shelves. It does contain a couple difficult concepts, but with the right grown-up by their side, there’s very little in Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature that a child won’t be able to figure out on their own.”
Publisher’s Weekly
“Besides being eye-catching, the photographs ought to prove invaluable for visual learners (spiral patterns in a pinecone are darkened for visibility). Kids should be left with a clear understanding of the pattern and curious about its remarkable prevalence in nature.”
Midwest Book Review
“Also lovely and different is Sarah C. Campbell’s Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature, a survey including color photos by Sarah C. Campbell and Richard P. Campbell. The Fibonacci pattern shows up in unexpected places in nature: this picturebook ties math to nature and creates lovely closeup photos of this number sequence.”
Ian Stewart, Professor of Mathematics at Warwick University
“A wonderful introduction to one of the most beautiful connections between mathematics and the natural world. Simple, elegant, and inspiring.”
