Fantastic book that can be the jumping off point for so many discussions. Shapes, animals, design, beauty, nature, botany, defense mechanisms, math, movement, physics, moment, chaos theory, weather, art, distance, Fibonacci sequences. The hardback version includes some additional information about spirals that is not in the board book edition.

Wow, what a splendid book. The perfect child-level marriage of science and aesthetics. Also, the scratchboard-style illustrations are stunning. I especially like the search-and-find aspect of this book; there are little spirals hidden everywhere. A great introduction to certain biological and mathematical principles (hibernation, defense mechanisms, geometry and the Fibonacci sequence) through the wonder of patterns and shapes.

The illustrations have great depth but are often confusing but the information is fun and well presented.
