Pretty brief text and beautiful but clearly delineated pictures to illustrate insects that use camouflage. Very consistent with the rest of the series by Heller. Each book has powerful, brief rhyming text. ( )

This book is about butterflies and other neet insects and how they disguise themselves from their foes. Each insect has a unique characteristic to help them hide.

This book is also a picture book with really great illustrations that my boys have enjoyed reading and looking at over the years. I think that everyone wishes they could "invisible" at one point or another.

As a classroom extension I would have the students draw their favorite insect either in its normal form or in its hiding form. Another extension would be to have the students go to the library and check out a book similar to this one and write a sentence or two about what they have read. ( )
