Product Description
Ten creatures await, camouflaged in artful, full-page photographs, while playful poems offer clues about each animal's identity and whereabouts. Think you've spotted one? Lift one of ten gatefolds to find out. A full page of fascinating information accompanies each animal so readers can learn how nature's camouflage serves hunter and hunted alike. Why do fawns have spots during their first year of life? How did killdeer birds get their name? What makes a crab spider so good at ambushing its prey?

A real grabber...... September 23, 2008
My third graders fight over this book! I am going to buy more copies so that more can share it at one time! The combination of excellent poetry set in eye grabbing fonts and shapes, with the camouflaged photographs intrigues and fascinates. What a great way to introduce and involve students in poetry.

I bought this book to share with my niece (age 6) and nephew (7) during a recent visit. They loved it, especially my niece, who asked at least a dozen times to read it (using "read" loosely, since it's really photos and you have to find the camouflaged animal). Even I had some trouble the first time through finding the critters, and the book is genuinely inspiring in terms of the wisdom in nature and the importance of respecting the earth that supports it. I recommend this book without reserve!
Wonderful! May 26, 2008
THis gift for a 7 year old boy was a big hit! Photos and explanations of camoflaged animals are truly inspired.
A real treat! April 21, 2008
Although I bought his book for my daughter, I have enjoyed it as well. The book is beautifully done. Fun,livily poetry about different creatures is accompanied by vivid photographs of the animals and their habitat(with the animals cleverly camouflaged). Can't find the animal hiding in the photo? Just lift the flap...the faded background shows the animal clearly. If that weren't enough, there are interesting facts (on the fold out pages) about each creature as well. This book is truly a treat for the eyes and ears of both children and adults alike.
