Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4Kaner introduces such defenses as changing size or shape, camouflage, protective coverings, and group living. Each defense mechanism is explained in straightforward language with several examples and is accompanied by an accurate, full-color drawing that shows how the creature makes use of its type of protection. The book is similar in scope to Phyllis Perrys Armor to Venom (Watts, 1997); however, with its somewhat simpler text and the slightly more generalized approach, Kaners title is accessible to a younger audience. Theres enough information in this serviceable volume for a brief report but it will probably be best used as a secondary source.Arwen Marshall, New York Public Library

From Booklist
The topic has been done before, but this colorful, large-format book presents information on animal defenses in a particularly accessible way. The introduction draws parallels between animals and people facing danger; then the book goes on to group animal behaviors under general categories such as "Putting on a Show," "Let's Stick Together," and "You Can't Catch Me." Within each section, several animals are presented in well-written paragraphs explaining their relevant physical features or behaviors and in sensitive drawings, brightened with watercolor washes. A most attractive introduction to animal defenses. Carolyn Phelan
