A 4-book series about animal camouflage. No matter how an animal uses its special appearance or abilities, each creature has adapted its behavior to perfectly suit the world in which it lives. The Living in a World of series offers a unique view of how animals are shaped by their habitats and how they have adapted to survive within them. Blue explores the animals of the world's oceans and seas, Green looks at forest and jungles, White discovers animals of the Arctic and Antarctic, and Brown studies deserts, woods, and grasslands.
"The writing is clear, with short sentences and age-appropriate vocabulary. The author and designer know what young readers like--from the caterpillar munching on the word "green" on the cover to the fact that "A sloth only climbs down from its tree once a week to poop."...in the crowded field of titles about animal camouflage, these new entries are useful because of their clever organization and their attractive, readable format."
