Young readers can count the number of words per page and discover how they echo the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical series in which each number is the sum of the previous two: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on to infinity! Even the color scheme in Kenard Pak's striking illustrations follows a mathematical progression, bringing an underlying order and tranquility to the story. The mesmerizing symmetry of this fascinating and compulsively playable game of addition can also be found in the natural world and is an intriguing metaphor for the interconnectedness of all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781338302875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40","brand":"Monica Wesolowska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183873036469,"sku":"9781338302875","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9077f4ac-1615-4958-a698-c4461e5350a9.jpg?v=1654571537","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/leo-lea-9781338302875","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
