This book is part of the "Read and Discover Science" series which is an early non-fiction introduction to science at low reading levels. The author uses familiar concepts to highlight what happens in the sky.

She covers the sun, clouds, moon, and stars and includes birds, planes and even a balloon just to name a few. The sentences are simple and the photographs are colourful, crisp and a delight to observe .

The Beginning-to-read book contains high-frequency words and content vocabulary. The author wisely includes science and reading activities, a note to caregivers, and a useful word list. This will be a wonderful book to include in a classroom or an elementary school library. Recommended by Storywraps.

Patterns in the Sky is part of the Earth Sciences series for young readers by Mary Lindeen. From star constellations, to the tracking if sun and moon, the phases if the moon, and cloud patterning, kids will learn all about the various patterns to be found in out pretty skies. Like others in the series, this one has simple, easy to read sentences, and provides grounding in basic scientific concepts in ways young readers can grasp. The end of the book features a Connecting Concepts section with questions to ask about the reading, and practise with vocabulary and reading fluency. My cubs and I enjoyed reading this book.
