Description:	Expressive bugs doing buggy things lead you on their daily rounds. The illustrations depict their daily activities such as floating, crawling, sipping and chewing. The bugs' engaging and somewhat goofy faces keep you in the story. But you soon realize more is going on here. A colored border above and below the pictures depict a pattern. The fun is in hunting for matching patterns less evident in the picture. How many can you find? Some are pretty subtle. This pattern is also reinforced in the text with patterns that are heard, not seen. For example, the simplest pattern has two parts and is called an AB pattern. This is seen in the text as "flutter-float, flutter-float." In the border it is represented by alternating orange and yellow blocks. The illustrated butterflies reinforce the AB pattern with a repeating pattern of large dot, small dot in their wings. As you continue to look at the picture you see the AB pattern is everywhere. Turn the pages and the patterns become more complex and interesting. The author is a parent and a teacher who wrote this book to use in her classroom. Her point is that patterns are all around us and this surely is an engaging way to bring awareness of patterns to children. --Barbara Kennedy Gr. - Kindergarten.
