"Fun and Learning for All Ages" according to J. A. Green. I bought this book to share with my niece (age 6) and nephew (7) during a recent visit. They loved it, especially my niece, who asked at least a dozen times to read it (using "read" loosely, since it's really photos and you have to find the camouflaged animal). Even I had some trouble the first time through finding the critters, and the book is genuinely inspiring in terms of the wisdom in nature and the importance of respecting the earth that supports it. I recommend this book without reserve!. perfect Sharon S Great book for children to try to find animals that are camouflaged well in natural settings in woodlands.. A Book With Personality The moment I picked up "Where in the Wild?", I stepped into a world of wonder due to the appealing and interactive nature of this book. Engaging shape-poetry and spectacular photography give this book playful and sophisticated qualities. Readers are challenged to use artful and informational context clues to uncover the disguised animals throughout the book. The personality of this book draws in all readers, not just children. Definitely a literary treat for all ages.
A full page of fascinating information accompanies each animal so readers can learn how nature's camouflage serves hunter and hunted alike. 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. 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?
