Nature’s Paintbrush: The Patterns and Colors Around You

Nature’s Paintbrush: The Patterns and Colors Around You – Susan Stockdale (also illustrated)
Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 0-689-81081-4

My rating: 4 out of 5

This book tells students of different colors and patterns found in nature. The main thing she shows reader is how different animals can blend-in with their surroundings in order to protect themselves. She uses simple, colorful illustrations that really make the images jump out at you. I enjoyed this book and think that children will like it too.

“Nature’s Paintbrush” would be a great book to use in a science unit discussing animals and their environment.
