Now You See Them, Now You Don't

Poems about Creatures That Hide

Illustrator: Laroche, Giles

Beschreibung

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.
