CATastrophe! A Story of Patterns. Ann Marie Stephens. Illustrated by Jenn Harney. 2021. [August] 32 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: The bait is packed and the boat is waiting. This hungry crew wants to catch some dinner.
Premise/plot: This picture book stars a crew of CATS eagerly wanting to catch some fish for dinner. This concept book is all about PATTERNS. IF the cats are to be successful they will have to reliably and consistently be able to integrate patterns into their plans...
My thoughts: It is a thinly veiled story. BUT on the plus side, if you're going to be doing math, better math WITH KITTIES than without. I didn't love, love, love this one as a story. I liked it. I think for those looking for concept picture books about patterns for young readers--preschoolers through kindergarten--it would be a good fit.
