1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. . . Look carefully. Do you see the pattern? Each number above is the sum of the two numbers before it. Though most of us are unfamiliar with it, this numerical series, called the Fibonacci sequence, is part of a code that can be found everywhere in nature. Count the petals on a flower or the peas in a peapod. The numbers are all part of the Fibonacci sequence. In Wild Fibonacci, readers will discover this mysterious code in a special shape called an equiangular spiral. Why so special? It mysteriously appears in the natural world: a sundial shell curves to fit the spiral. So does a parrot's beak. . . a hawk's talon. . . a ram's horn. . . even our own human teeth! Joy Hulme provides a clear and accessible introduction to the Fibonacci sequence and its presence in the animal world. Review: This is a great book. - I bought this book for my niece's 12th birthday and she loved it. Going to share with her younger brothers and show her school friends. The explanation of the Fibonacci sequence is appropriate for kids of this age (assuming they like growing their minds. The illustrations are excellent. (Ignore the stupid negative comments.) Five Stars! Review: Brilliant 👏 - Brilliant book. Wonderfully illustrated. Lovely story and most important, a great way to introduce fibonacci to young people.

What an interesting book,
I absolutely love this book for my autistic 6yr old grandson. Although I might have found I am much like him. I love patterns and the nature of how everything is so perfect.

Nice drawings, could have covered more
The title "Nature's secret code revealed" got me excited. The rave reviews seemed to justify my excitement. I thought this would be the book to show my child the myriad ways in which Fibonacci numbers crop up in the most unexpected of places in nature. I have to say that my expectations were satisfied only partially. The authors have focussed on one aspect of Fibonacci numbers and showed how that manifests in nature. Many others could have been covered. The focus on just one feature takes away the fun to a large extent. The book is well intentioned and the drawings are beautiful. It is just that so much more could have been done. In contrast, "Blockhead" does a better job. There, the drawings have Fibonacci features hidden in them which an interested parent can show to his child.
