Where Else in the Wild; Camouflaged Creatures Concealed... and Revealed

By; David Schwartz, Yael Schy and Dwight Kuhn



I loved this book!  The author and photographer have done an excellent job working together to create this book.   It had wonderful photographs and I fun "search and find" element. Each photograph shows an animal in its camouflaged habitat. The reader opens the flap to reveal where the animal is hiding in the photograph.  Going along with the gorgeous photo is a poem that gives you clues and information about the animal.  My favorite part the poem was the visual element that went along with it.  Many of the poems featured text that was written going up and down or spiraled to help the reader visualize how the animal may move.  Each page also featured information on each animal.   

Students of all ages will enjoy this book on different levels. Young readers will enjoy finding the animal in each picture and getting information from the photograph. Older readers will be able to read the poem to learn additional information. Advanced readers will like reading the added information that is available on each flap page.  I am excited to read other books in this series by this author!
