Ten creatures await, camouflaged in artful, full-page photographs,
while playful poems offer clues about each animal's identity and
whereabouts. Think you've spotted one? Lift one of ten gatefolds to
find out. A full page of fascinating information accompanies each
animal so readers can learn how nature's camouflage serves hunter
and hunted alike. Why do fawns have spots during their first year
of life? How did killdeer birds get their name? What makes a crab
spider so good at ambushing its prey?
