![]() ![]() The detail in these illustrations is extraordinary. Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature is yet another children's picture book by Joyce Sidman packed with intriguing information about the natural world and beautifully illustrated by Beth Krommes employing scratchboard art of which she is a master. 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.Īlso, anyone who finds the spiral shape attractive or compelling in any way will find a lot here to love. This is the best kind of nature & science book: it teaches in a way that is so interesting. 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. 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. The simple text information and big pictures can appeal to the youngest child. I love how this can be read on so many different levels to and by so many ages of kids. ![]() ![]() This goes for individual animals (and animal parts and postures), individual plants, ocean waves, clouds, and entire galaxies. ![]() Fascinating scientific information about how spirals are so prevalent in nature. ![]()
