Now You See The Now You Don’t: poems about creatures that hide

Different formatting could have made a big difference for this book.  The illustrations are cool.  Animal camouflage is always a topic of interest.  Poetry doesn’t seem like the most natural genre for the topic. There are information pages in the back of the book with informational paragraphs about each of the animals in the book, but too many students ignore the back-of-book information.  This book would have been stronger if the information had been included in side-bar blurbs right alongside the poems in the main body of the book.
