My First Book of Patterns by Bobby & June George, art by Boyoun Kim - ADVISABLE

George, Bobby and June My First Book of Patterns, art by Boyoun Kim.  BOARD BOOK.  Phaidon, 2017.  $17.  9780714872490

This is a line, what can a line make?  Stripes!  When you cross lines you can make plaid.  A lot of diamonds can create harlequin and argyle.  Squares can make checks.  And octagon’s honeycombs.  But my favorite patterns are paisley and floral. 

It has quite a few more pages than the typical board book but is an excellent introduction to shapes and the patterns that they can create.  The illustrations are in primary colors and are relatively simple, highlighting the bold shapes and patterns within them.
