AWARDS & REVIEWS:
School Library Journal: "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."
Yale Elementary Library Specialist: "Highly Recommended. This is an excellent resource for reluctant readers or for students just beginning to do research....visually appealing with great colorful photographs..."
Tri State Young Adult Book Review Committee: "Recommended for middle school students. The colored pictures convey a great deal of information on the various animals and how they camouflage to survive."
Library Talk: "Students will enjoy discovering interesting facts while learning about different animal's habitats."
