Stunning artwork. This book shows everything that is spiral from animals to nature. The best thing about it, is the information is labeled throughout the book in case you don't know a specific species of an animal. Just a wonderful book for children.

I paired this book up with Lots and Lots of Zebra Stripes by Stephen Swinburne for a discussion on patterns in nature. This book is beautifully illustrated and adds an additional dimension to the concept of the pattern as it pertains to nature.

Gorgeous and eye catching illustrations.
Fascinating scientific information about how spirals are so prevalent in nature. This goes for individual animals (and animal parts and postures), individual plants, ocean waves, clouds, and entire galaxies.
I love how this can be read on so many different levels to and by so many ages of kids. The simple text information and big pictures can appeal to the youngest child. the words used are soothing enough so that this could even work as a bedtime story! The slightly older child will love finding the smaller pictures within pictures that give more specific examples, which are named. And for older kids there is a wonderful two page spread at the end of the book, which both reviews and expands on the information in the book proper.
This is the best kind of nature & science book: it teaches in a way that is so interesting. I learned quite a few things I hadn’t know until reading them in this book, and it also got me thinking about this spiral pattern.
Also, anyone who finds the spiral shape attractive or compelling in any way will find a lot here to love.

Joyce Sidman and Beth Krommes combine their talents in this beautiful book about spirals in the natural world-- from galaxies to unfurling fern fronds.
Love the art and the naming of various plants and natural phenomena. There's even a tornado! There's no storyline, just an exploration of nature and shapes. The last few pages have some detailed descriptions to help go more in-depth if you're working with a level of kids that wants to learn more. Did I mention I loved the art?
