Hiding in Forests

Both predator and prey use camouflage to blend in with their environment.  The color and/or the shape of an animal or insect make it hard to see  them in their surroundings.  Photographs show several animals in hiding.  The next page shows the same photograph with the background grayed out so the animal is highlighted.  The font is large, sufficient information is included within few sentences, and the colorful photographs are a good match with the text.  A few examples show how some animals use color to stand out to be noticed – either to attract a mate or to warn animals away.  Bolded words are included in the glossary.  Other books with a similar reading level and websites are mentioned in the back, along with the index.  Good information for those learning about camouflage.
