Good submitted by keldan315 on August 19, 2017, 7:56am This is a nice way to introduce the idea that there are patterns recurring in nature.

From pill bugs to galaxies submitted by Diananana on July 16, 2023, 9:38pm This is what a science book for young children should be like. It shows the various properties of spirals in simple terms, for example, a spiral is a growing shape. A snake can fit into a small space when coiled, but can be very long when it uncoils. The illustrations are beautiful and fun, with lots of details for the finding.
