(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Barron. Two-page spreads, illustrated with pleasing cut-paper collage, link animals' activities to geometry concepts. For example, "Would spiders weave webs to spin silken scenes?" is paired with questions about finding shapes therein. The prompts and activities range widely in difficulty and the book's assertion--"So...does nature know numbers? No way!"--is confusingly explained. Animal facts are appended.
