Get familiar with animals from around the world who use colour as a super power! In this fact-filled and engaging book, you will read surprising stories of how animals use colour to thrive in their habitat. Colour gives them unique powers: the giant cuttlefish changes colour to hide from predators, whilst the firefly glows in the dark to choose a mate; and if the flamingo was to stop eating brine shrimp, they would no longer be pink! Learn about the venomous spiders from the jungle, how tigers use camouflage to hunt their preys or how coral and fish have learned to live in harmony with each other. Each page is vividly illustrated and is accompanied by authoritative text, providing an exploration of the animal' s habitats and habits.
