Discover some of the brilliant ways animals disguise themselves in this engaging introduction for young children from a conservation biologist.
Melding a simple narration with more detailed facts on a variety of creatures--including sandgrouses, gerbils, Arctic foxes, and butterflies--this fascinating picture book also offers a brief note on Animal Camouflage in the back matter..
From moths whose wings resemble dead leaves to eponymous stick insects, from a lizard that looks like a tree stump to the ghost pipefish you\'d mistake for a coral reef, the range of colors, patterns, and techniques captured here demonstrates how animals across myriad environments can disguise themselves.
And some, like poison dart frogs and the scarlet king snake, don\'t try to hide at all! Most animals have developed clever tricks to survive, but not all excel at Camouflage the way these animals do.
Others hide in the sea, like the peacock flounder, who can also change color.
Some animals hide in the sand, like the desert lizard, whose scales can resemble pebbles and stones.
