Animals hide to avoid being eaten or to sneak up on animals they want to eat. This amazing book introduces children to some basic science concepts and vocabulary such as predator, prey, and camouflage. Fascinating photographs feature animals that can change color and those that have different shapes and patterns, so that they can blend in with their surroundings. A special section also features animals that do not need to hide. Sharp quills or bright colors warn other animals that these animals are dangerous to eat or even touch! Teacher's guide available.
