“So now you‘ll spot the symmetry: in the round, on your feet, up or down, in a tree, in the air, almost anywhere!”
This is a great book to use when teaching children about what exactly symmetry is and how it works. The book brings it down to “their level” and makes it fun along the way as well.

I love how this book gives examples of symmetry using familiar objects that children can easily identify and relate to. I also like the way that the author put different important words in bold red letters throughout the book.
