Masters of Disguise: Camouflaging Creatures & Magnificent Mimics

Attention all curious minds who like to solve mysteries—come find where all the creatures are hiding! This book shows the variety of animals around the world that blend into their environment so well, it is hard to see them.

From an insect that can look like a flower, to butterflies that look like leaves, to snakes that look just like a vine, children will be amazed how well they can blend in. Pictures and descriptions show the way coloring and shape allows them to be overlooked in their environment. For even more fun, pictures are included to practice finding some that are in disguise.

Children will have lots of fun learning how members of the animal kingdom hide in plain sight. They will really like, and have a good time, with the show more pictures where they try to pick out for themselves animals that are in camouflage. This is a beautiful hard-backed book, with lots of colorful and endearing illustrations, done by the author himself.

This is a book that will be loved, and looked at over and over. Children through ten years old will like this, and will have a good time unmasking the animals around us. I highly recommend this 5 star book!

Very cool book! It talks about the different skills that animals have such as camouflage and mimicking. After each page which gives details about the animal there is a page where you have to find the animal in it's habitat. Some were really easy, some were super hard!

YMMV- mentions climate change.
