This third book by the authors/photographer team about animals in their natural environments challenges readers to figure out the builders of strange-but-natural constructions. A poem, with text providing clues, and part of a larger photograph begins each section; a foldout gives detailed information about the animals and the mounds, tunnels, and pellets they create. High-quality color photographs invite scrutiny. Reading list, websites.

Illustrated by
Dwight Kuhn.
The folks behind Where in the Wild? are back with this companion book. Poems--ranging from concrete to rhyming couplets--face full-page color photographs of one or more hard-to-see animals in natural habitats of intricate thickets, colorful flowers, and collections of stones and leaves. Readers fold out each right-hand page to reveal the animals along with several paragraphs of factual information.

After a page of introduction about the intriguing concept of camouflage, the subject is creatively explored through poetry and search-and-find games. Each spread presents a poem on the left-hand page and a high-quality nature photograph on the right; lifting the right-hand page reveals where on the page the animal is located (sans camouflage) and uncovers another page of facts.
