This book has been a delight to my 5 year old. He never tires of looking at the pictures while I read the text ( which is written in rhymes .) It brings new ideas to the way a child looks at and thinks about nature.

We love all the Ruth Heller animal books. My daughter goes looking for them all the time to have me read them to her. She has memorized most of them.

This book should be standard reading for the lower grades when studying camouflage. It's easy to read and the pictures are great.
