I've been blessed with opportunities to share my stories and experiences with youth around the world. Please enjoy my newest picture book Fibonacci Zoo, my two science experiments books, and my home-grown physics book.
Fibonacci Zoo
ISBN-13-9880770074082
​
When Eli and his father visit an unusual zoo, they count the creatures in each exhibit. Eli seens one alligator, then one bison, and next two camels. Soon a number pattern emerges and Eli thinks he can predict how many animals will be in the next exhibit. Explore the zoo with Eli as he runs ahead to test his hypothesis.
On this journey, readers will discover an odd collection of zoo animals, but more intriguing is the number of animals in each exhibit. look closely and they follow a curious pattern... 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,.... Eli quickly figures out that if he adds two consecutive numbers, he gets the next number and uses his discovery to predict the number of animals he expects to see next.
Readers also explore the alphabet as they meet each new animal in numerical and alphabetical order.
English and Spanish versions available.
