I enjoyed reading this book because it was actually very beneficial. to read. I thought this book was going to be about how certain animals live in places where others can't see them clearly. I was right in my prediction but what surprised me was that it actually went into detail about the animal that it was talking about. it had a very light tone which made the book fun to read. I also liked the style of the author because she had it in and A format which made the material very clear.
This book is all about how different creatures (large mammals, fish, insects, etc...) use their looks to camouflage themselves from predators and prey.
Although I naturally gravitate towards the big cats, I have to say that the bugs won the cool prize in this book.
I absolutely love the illustration in this book. The pictures help to clarify how the animals blend in with their environment and why. This is a great book to teach children about adaptations. This book would be great for introducing adaptation to the class.
This book is about many different animals and how their appearance can protect them and/or hide them so they can attack their prey. I think this is a good book for a science lesson and could easily be paired with "I See Animals Hiding."
