'In this entry in the Patterns in the Seasons series, children can learn to recognize patterns as they relate to the winter season. The book sports an early-reader trim size and large text with useful repetition. In the opening double-page spread, the text reads, “Look at the cookies. What is the pattern?” Here children can see a plate of cookies with a distinct spiral pattern. In the pages that follow, the basic text repeats, and children can identify, for example, stripes on a sweater and polka dots on wrapping paper. The crisp and colorful photographs provide excellent context clues, though adult assistance may be needed, as the patterns are not identified. A concluding spread depicts multicultural youngsters in a snow- and patternfilled scene, allowing readers to recap their observation skills.', Angela Leeper, Booklist
