Illustrated by
John Butler.
"Where is baby?" So begins an introduction to young animals' camouflage and protective characteristics: a baby deer with dappled markings, baby leopards' climbing abilities, baby elephants "fade behind a forest of legs," etc. Realistic acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations picture varied species from the natural world--including the human baby, depicted on a concluding gatefold. "More About Babies" supplements the simple informational text.
