My First Book of Patterns by Bobby & June George

My First Book of Patterns by Bobby & June George; illustrated by Boyoun Kim, 2018

Once toddlers conquer shapes, their next important math skill to learn is patterns. My First Book of Patterns by Bobby & June George is an amazing board book that shows children how shapes can be combined to create popular patterns. Ten patterns are featured in all including polka dots, plaid, chevron, and paisley. The last page shows the basic shapes once more and then folds out into a line of ice cream cones each with its own pattern. My two-year-old daughter loved pouring through the colorful illustrations of this gorgeous board book. It is longer than most board books, so it always prolonged our bedtime, but it was definitely worth it.
