My First Book of Patterns

My grandson has been fascinated by patterns since he was 6 months old. I searched for a book about patterns and found this wonderful book by Montessori teachers. My grandson loves it! I have to read and reread it multiple times in one sitting. When we hand him a different book, he will drop it and go off in search of this book. It’s fascinating to me to see how much a baby can prefer a certain book!Since it is a board book, I feel confident in letting him hold it by himself. The simple layout with few words is perfect for babies and early toddlers. The size and colors of the patterns catches his interest. The only drawback I have found is that the pages that show scenes using the patterns are not realistic. Why not show stripes with tigers, zebras, or fish? Argyle using socks or a sweater? Checks using a real checker board?I saw other reviews saying their child wasn’t interested in this book, and I can certainly understand that. Babies and toddlers have proclivities even at this young age. I noticed my grandson staring at patterned pillows, rugs, etc. for relatively long bouts of time, so I went in search of a book about patterns. I’m so glad that this is the book I found! It’s exactly what I wanted, and more importantly, it’s exactly what my grandson loves!

My husband is a graphic designer, so I thought this would be a fun buy for our newborn. The book looks beautiful on the shelf and our baby loves staring at the patterns.

Unusual but v colourful baby book, just as interesting when viewed up side down, and has a nice flap page to open at the end

Im surprised how much my 3.5 year old LOVES this book! We are reading it every night and she enjoys being quizzed at the end about which pattern is called what. She has learnt a lot like I hoped for.
