Sorting Through Spring

Written by Lizann Flatt

Illustrated by Ashley Barron

Well, here it is, folks!  The second eagerly awaited book about math in nature, “Sorting Through Spring”, by Lizann Flatt and Ashley Barron.  They’ve done it again.  By combining nature and math, they have succeeded in making your kidlet aware of patterns in nature and introducing them to math concepts at the same time.

Each colourfully illustrated page deals with a different aspect of nature, from counting raindrops, to identifying patterns in schools of fish, to comparing nests of bunnies in a greater < or > less than puzzle.  Your child will be excited to find the answers to these questions, while inadvertently absorbing many complex mathematical ideas along the way.

Lizann and Ashley make math a fun and embedded activity by using snakes and bunnies, and fish and hummingbirds.  After reading “Sorting Through Spring”, your young one will ask for all of the books in the series and you will be more than happy to further their study of nature and math in an exciting and inspiring way.
