內容簡介:
本书用诗歌一般的语言和真实精彩的画面描述了大自然中动物的伪装术以及如何发现这些伪装……
Ten creatures await, camouflaged in artful, full-page
photographs, while playful poems offer clues about each animal''s
identity and whereabouts. Think you''ve spotted one? Lift one of ten
gatefolds to find out. A full page of fascinating information
accompanies each animal so readers can learn how nature''s
camouflage serves hunter and hunted alike. Why do fawns have spots
during their first year of life? How did killdeer birds get their
name? What makes a crab spider so good at ambushing its prey?
