About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-3-Two series entries that invite readers to locate camouflaged animals, whose habitats are presented on attractive, textless, double-page fold-outs. The key to each panorama is on the following double-page spread, which lists the variety and total number of species pictured and provides illustrations of individual animals and a few facts about their behavior. In Rivers & Lakes, background and creature color tones are closely related, making it a challenge to find them. Brighter hues in Woods & Forests provide more contrast and make the animals easier to find. New England, Florida Everglades, Malaysian, European, and central southern African habitats are represented in Rivers & Lakes; Woods & Forests includes European and New England woodlands. A page of suggestions for using the books appears on the reverse of each cover. Fans of pop-up nature titles and other interactive formats will enjoy testing their visual acuity with this series. However, libraries will have difficulty including these books, due to text printed on the endpapers, which are attached to the board covers.

From Publishers Weekly

This title in the Nature Hide & Seek series is a powerful little picture book with tantalizing fold-outs and dazzling displays of the jungle's flora and fauna. The first and last rule of the jungle, namely the survival game, requires camouflagein kids' lingo it's called hide and seek. The apparent and mysterious attraction of the very young to this game will make Jungles indispensable. Older readers also will be challenged by the hunt for animals, which are shown first among the vines, brush and trees, and then in their entirety on alternating pages. Some animals are quite impossible to findthe tiger, the owl and, particularly, the chameleon. This is an intriguing book; no reader who picks it up will be able to resist a quick search for the hidden animals. Ages 59.
