Beautiful photographs highlight the patterns visible in everyday life. I look forward to sharing this with my students, followed by an immediate exploration of patterns in our library, classroom and school. I can see older students being inspired to create their own book of patterns.

A truly wonderful book, with lots of lovely recipes. Once my ban on purchasing books comes to an end next year, this will be purchased. Great for a comforting treat.

I love the premise but it didn't deliver as much as I had hoped. The majority of the recipes were from a handful of books, I was hoping for more variety. Some of the 'recipes' weren't even that . e.g toast with butter, bacon, hard boiled egg etc.

The only two recipes I will be trying from this book are Paddington Bear's marmalade buns and Bruce Bogtrotter's chocolate cake (from Matilda).

all reasonably simple
