(4) K-3 Illustrated by Giles Laroche. Organized in five thematic sections, including "Sea Life" and "Mammals," nineteen pedestrian poems introduce animals whose physiology helps them use camouflage to avoid predators or to trick potential prey. The accomplished cut-paper illustrations don't take full advantage of the hiding premise (i.e., the featured animals are easy to see) but are engaging nonetheless. End notes about each species provide more information. Reading list.
