The Horn Book Guide
“Harris’s rhythmic, loosely rhyming text describes how seven insects move through a backyard garden. . . [T]his book cleverly elucidates its concept via verbal and pictorial patterns. In each two-page cartoon illustration, every element, from the decorative frame to the background characters, shares the same pattern (AB, ABB, etc.). An endnote provides further explanation.”

“Here is an intelligent math tool that can be used by an individual child or with groups. . . By using the sounds in the poems, the details of the pictures, and the various blocks of color that frame the initial spread, children can find and identify repetitive patterns. . . An excellent way to prove to reluctant readers that books can be lots of fun.”
