I liked this book a lot, because the Fibonacci sequence is very interesting to me. I think this book is a great way to show the real world applications of the Fibonacci sequence. The most interesting part is that these things are found in nature! However, I wish the book had used more examples found in nature, like plants. There are many different plants that follow the Fibonacci sequence like pine cones, many different flowers, succulents, and more. Those things if used, might have shown show more more aspects of the sequence than just the curve (numbers of petals, shape, etc). show less

The examples that the book presented were not the most accurate. With that being said, the initial description of what the Fibonacci sequence is was accurate, allowing the reader to understand where the sequence was derived from. I enjoyed the book and would recommend to a child who was confused.

This book introduces Fibonacci sequence in a fun unique way. It is easy to understand the basic number theory. The illustrations are amazing helps kids see that you can learn by using nature and not just by books.

Good, but "Growing Patterns" by Sarah C. Campbell fills in more of the details.
