About this title

Synopsis

Find me
if you can. . .
for if you
don’t,
I’ll be here
tomorrow . . .
you
won’t.
 
Animals and insects use camouflage to hide from hunters or to ambush prey. Stealth is a very useful technique when it comes to survival. In this fun and informative collection of poems, we meet animals such as the polar bear and the octopus; the ghost crab and the copperhead snake; and many more that use camouflage to hunt or to hide.
 
Giles Laroche’s intricate cut-paper illustrations are beautiful and life-like. Readers will have to look carefully or run the risk of a hunter sneaking up on them.
 
Back matter offers additional information about each of the nineteen animals.
