This Arnosky book revolves around the idea of animal coloration. What I really like about Arnosky is that his written in rich with feeling and description, yet simple enough for any one to enjoy. When talking about nature, he sticks to the facts, never misleading young readers. Arnosky's watercolor illustrations in this book are gorgeous while still being accurate. Arnosky is simply a great nature writer for children.
This would be a great read aloud book for any elementary classroom. Students will have a lot of fun looking for the animals hiding within the illustrations. It would be a terrific introduction to a biology unit on animal coloration and camouflage.
