A Black girl named Olivia, a recurring character in the series, has a wooden birdhouse. “How should I paint it?” she asks readers. Spare wording on each page explains her choice—pink and green stripes—introduces the word pattern, and asks readers to guess which color would come next. Then, in a clever twist, she gets distracted (“Oh hello, birds!”) and accidentally paints a blue stripe. “Oops!” The blue stripe isn’t in the pattern, but after a brief frown, she finds a solution, giving caregivers an opportunity to discuss both more complicated math concepts and making mistakes. It is impressive how few words Lin uses to convey important foundational concepts of patterns, problem-solving, and caring for animals—all in language accessible to toddlers. Her signature painting style is both colorful and homey, its black outlines and visible paint strokes exuding a relaxed feel. Backmatter discusses the importance of learning about patterns and empowers adults to extend the learning through conversation and by noticing patterns all around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exceptionally layered and educational board book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLin continues her Storytelling Math series with this simple exploration of patterns. Little Olivia is excited to decorate a wooden birdhouse and decides to paint its roof with pink and green stripes. All is going well until Olivia accidentally adds a blue stripe. “Oops! Now what?” Forging on, a more complex pattern takes shape as the girl continues painting with three colors. The simple text includes repetition and questions directed at the reader, ensuring their engagement with both concept and story. Lin’s color-saturated artwork directly supports the text, and closing tips for educators or caregivers extend the pattern lesson beyond the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA girl with dark skin and dark hair wants to paint a beautiful birdhouse for the birds with stripes on the roof. She decides to make a pattern, but gets distracted by a bird and accidentally messes up her pattern. Instead of getting frustrated or upset, she decides to make a new pattern from what she already has and ends up making a great house for the birds. This story introduces an early math skill in such a relatable way and also deals with how to deal with making a mistake. The illustrations are vibrant and colorful and the text is short and simple yet effective. Perfect for babies who love illustrations of children and for older toddlers who are beginning to learn patterns. The last page also features ideas for the adults to continue the learning with simple activities they can do at home. This is a great purchase for any library collection or home library and would make a good read-aloud title for storytime or families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - -

A Black girl named Olivia, a recurring character in the series, has a wooden birdhouse. “How should I paint it?” she asks readers. Spare wording on each page explains her choice—pink and green stripes—introduces the word pattern, and asks readers to guess which color would come next. Then, in a clever twist, she gets distracted (“Oh hello, birds!”) and accidentally paints a blue stripe. “Oops!” The blue stripe isn’t in the pattern, but after a brief frown, she finds a solution, giving caregivers an opportunity to discuss both more complicated math concepts and making mistakes. It is impressive how few words Lin uses to convey important foundational concepts of patterns, problem-solving, and caring for animals—all in language accessible to toddlers. Her signature painting style is both colorful and homey, its black outlines and visible paint strokes exuding a relaxed feel. Backmatter discusses the importance of learning about patterns and empowers adults to extend the learning through conversation and by noticing patterns all around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exceptionally layered and educational board book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLin continues her Storytelling Math series with this simple exploration of patterns. Little Olivia is excited to decorate a wooden birdhouse and decides to paint its roof with pink and green stripes. All is going well until Olivia accidentally adds a blue stripe. “Oops! Now what?” Forging on, a more complex pattern takes shape as the girl continues painting with three colors. The simple text includes repetition and questions directed at the reader, ensuring their engagement with both concept and story. Lin’s color-saturated artwork directly supports the text, and closing tips for educators or caregivers extend the pattern lesson beyond the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA girl with dark skin and dark hair wants to paint a beautiful birdhouse for the birds with stripes on the roof. She decides to make a pattern, but gets distracted by a bird and accidentally messes up her pattern. Instead of getting frustrated or upset, she decides to make a new pattern from what she already has and ends up making a great house for the birds. This story introduces an early math skill in such a relatable way and also deals with how to deal with making a mistake. The illustrations are vibrant and colorful and the text is short and simple yet effective. Perfect for babies who love illustrations of children and for older toddlers who are beginning to learn patterns. The last page also features ideas for the adults to continue the learning with simple activities they can do at home. This is a great purchase for any library collection or home library and would make a good read-aloud title for storytime or families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium-cover\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/spanish-beautiful-house-for-birds-cover.jpg?v=1700081761\" alt=\"book cover\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"product-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/spanish-beautiful-house-for-birds-cover-hires.jpg.zip?v=1700081789\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/beautiful-house-birds-cover-hires.jpeg.zip?v=1660330883\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Activity Guide (English)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/stm-spanish-beautiful-house-for-birds-activity-kit.pdf?v=1712762898\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Activity Guide (Spanish)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpanish-English Bilingual Board\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-405-8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBoard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-347-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-2\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 16\u003cbr\u003e6 x 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e"}
