Animal Camouflage

Books in this series begin with true/false statements.  The answers are found within the pages and also in the back.  Camouflage simply means using a disguise to help a creature to hide from predators.  However, sometimes camouflage also helps animals sneak up on their prey.  Animals use mimicry, coloration, behavior, physical appearance, and shape as a means to hide.  Photos fill about half the page and are well chosen to illustrate the informative text.  Over 30 animals, insects, sea creatures, reptiles, birds, and even people, are depicted using camouflage.  Words in bold text are defined in context as well as in the glossary.  Additional facts, resources, an index, and a paragraph about the author are included.  This is a terrific resource for any collection.
