Nature Did It First!

(4) K-3 Photographs by Dorothy Handelman. In this concept book, human inventions are compared to their prototypes in nature. Some work better than others: e.g., a photograph of a child in army fatigues precedes a picture of a leopard camouflaged in a tree; but comparing a sleeping bag to a monarch caterpillar's chrysalis is a stretch. In general, the close-up photos and brief text will appeal to budding naturalists.
