A gorgeous hide-and-seek extravaganza that showcases twelve of the most elusive animals on earth that use camouflage to disguise themselves.
A timely and beautiful non-fiction book for nature lovers of every stripe.
Now you see them, now you don’t! Cloaked in a riot of colour, pattern and texture are a dozen animals – from chameleons and polar bears to Gaboon vipers and mimic octopuses – that have mastered the art of fading into the background.
Fact-packed pages segue into clever and beautifully illustrated seek-and-find spreads that put readers’ newfound knowledge of each creature and its ecosystem to the test. Marc Martin jets budding conservationists around the world and shows them the secrets of animal camouflage. A perfect gift for animal lovers.
Masters of Disguise, Camouflaging Creatures and Magnificent Mimics is a colourful, gorgeous read that couples educational information about these animals, and an opportunity for readers to go seeking these creatures in subsequent pages.
Marc Martin has combined pages of wonderful educational material about each of these animals, and what makes them masters of camouflage or mimics. Once readers learn this information, they can go seeking them in the next pages.
It’s like the Where’s Wally of the animal world, but it’s more like Where’s the Panther Chameleon, or Where’s the Mimic Octopus, or Where’s the Stick Insect hiding.
Martin wrote and illustrated this book, and the pages where young readers have to go looking for these animals are filled with colour and details that draw your eye every which way. It’s a glorious way to keep young readers entertained and educated!
Like I said: Fun!
