Illustrated by
Gavriel Jecan.
Creatures with markings or colorings that allow them to blend into their surroundings are the focus of this find-the-animal-in-the-picture book. Helman groups her subjects by habitat, giving general explanations of each. Lively accounts incorporate information about behaviors, additional adaptations, and life cycles. At the back of the book, the photographs are reproduced with the animals circled in red.
