(4) K-3 Cloverleaf Books: Nature's Patterns series. Illustrated by Christine M. Schneider. The kids in Ms. Sampson's class learn that "different materials [are used] for different purposes" and find patterns ("something that happens again and again") when they locate objects made of similar materials.
