A colourful and gentle introduction to the concept of animal camouflage for young children. Some animals hide in the desert, others hide in the snow - and some don' t hide at all! From insects that look like leaves to underwater creatures that can blend into their background, discover all the clever ways animals use camouflage. Written by the award-winning author Martin Jenkins and illustrated by Jane McGuinness, this beautiful picture book is a perfect introduction to animal camouflage.

He worked for ten years for World Conservation Monitoring Centre, writing about a range of conservation issues, and since 1990 he has worked freelance for organisations such as WWF and a number of UN bodies concerned with conservation and the environment. Martin' s jobs have varied greatly: "I' ve been an orchid-sleuth in Germany, a timber detective in Kenya and an investigator of the chameleon trade in Madagascar. " Martin' s children' s books include Emperor' s Egg, winner of the Times Junior Information Book of the Year Award. Martin lives in Cambridge. Jane McGuinness studied illustration at Maidstone for her BA before completing an MA in Children' s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art.
