The book discusses ways in which predators and prey use camouflage. It starts with an introduction of camouflage and then goes on to discuss different types like mimicry, concealing coloration, by using examples of various animals that use those mechanisms. Excellent illustrations accompany the explanations, which act as visual aids in better understanding the mechanisms. The book also includes a glossary, suggestions for further reading and scientific names of some animals.
The book can be used to introduce students to the concept of adaptations and how adaptations increase the chances of survival for different species. The accompanying colorful pictures will help grab student interest. Although the book is designed for students in 5th-7th grades, I believe that it can be used in any class to introduce the concept of camouflage. ( )

"Animal Camouflage" describes the many ways that various animals blend in with their environment to hide from predators. It is very informative and has realistic pictures that go well with the text. This book would tie in well with a science lesson about animals and how they survive. ( )
