Where Else in the Wild?
Did you find that sneaky orchid mantis hiding on the cover?
This book is full of similarly sly species-and they're all hiding in plain sight. Think you've spotted one? Lift the flap to find out!
Each of the camouflaged creatures on these pages, from chickadees to crayfish, is disguised for a reason. Some are on the prowl for prey, while others hide from hungry predators. Dis...more

This is a wonderful book with three different layers of content to educate and entertain. The book contains twelve pages of hidden animals that are cleverly camouflaged, as only nature can. Accompanying the photos are fun and informative poems, often filled with puns and subtle humor that give clues to the identity of the creature hidden in the photo. And finally, inside the fold out page, is a lengthy description of the animal, with information about its habitat and its particular coloration...more
Where Else in the Wild? is a book of clever photographs with camouflaged animals hidden among the world in which they reside. Each photograph contains a clue written as a poem. The camouflaged animal is revealed by lifting the page.
The poems are delightful. My favorite has to be “Ambushed.” The information about the animal is expounded upon on once the reader opens up the oversized page. Each animal selected is fascinating and remarkable.

This was a fun book with beautiful photographs of animals at their camouflaged finest. My niece enjoyed the book more than my nephew did, but both of them had fun looking for the animals hidden in their environments.
Neither child had the interest or the patience to listen to the poems that accompanied each animal's page, so evenutally I just quit reading those. I also quickly abandoned my attempts to read the interesting information that was provided about each animal. The act of ...more

Combine a book with flaps that reveal previously camouflaged creatures going about their ho-hum life outdoors, and you have a storytime winner! Kids loved trying to solve the "puzzles" of where the creatures were - and for those who weren't so brave, there was always the anticipation of the flap that opened up to reveal the now-you-see-it critter photos. The book works also because of the many different sorts of poems - they keep the text side of the book short enough that younger chil...more
I loved this poetry collection about camouflaged creatures. The illustrations are a seek and find and would be a great visionary tool to help children see a picture in a picture. It is a great way to learn about creepy crawlers!
# 1: It's got a liitle bit of mystery to it's photography.
# 2: It has so many fact's about all the animals involved.
# 3: It was neat to lean of so many cretures I have never seen before.

fantastic non fic about camouflaged animals, great to use during outreaches and storytime to let the kids see if they can pick out the camouflaged animal, its really fun!

As a child, I was filled with a sense of awe as I contemplated the universe. The huge numbers of stars and their sizes and distances never failed to amaze me. With binoculars and magnifying glass, I also focused on closer subjects like birds, flowers, frogs and bugs.
