Something I love about teaching in the library is that I don’t have to teach math. Yet I am fascinated by math especially, number sequences such as prime numbers and Fibonacci numbers. That’s why I was thrilled to get Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature by Sarah C. Campbell. Campbell also does the photographs along with Richard P. Campbell.
Sarah’s blog is HERE: For my review, I was inspired to write a Fibonacci poem:

Pineapples, pinecones, and the nautilus shell are used as well to explain this natural mystery. Campbell includes additional information about Fibonacci numbers at the end of the book as well as a glossary.
In a world where captivating mathematics books for children are scarce, this book will be a great addition to the collections.
