Product Description

Ten creatures await, camouflaged in artful, full-page photographs, while playful poems offer clues about each animal's identity and whereabouts. Think you've spotted one? Lift one of ten gatefolds to find out. A full page of fascinating information accompanies each animal so readers can learn how nature's camouflage serves hunter and hunted alike. Why do fawns have spots during their first year of life? How did killdeer birds get their name? What makes a crab spider so good at ambushing its prey?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book With Personality, December 4, 2007
The moment I picked up "Where in the Wild?", I stepped into a world of wonder due to the appealing and interactive nature of this book. Engaging shape-poetry and spectacular photography give this book playful and sophisticated qualities. Readers are challenged to use artful and informational context clues to uncover the disguised animals throughout the book. The personality of this book draws in all readers, not just children. Definitely a literary treat for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great combination of poetry, non-fiction and photography!, January 8, 2008
By Laura Bush (Vernon, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Where in the Wild?" combines thought provoking poetry, stunning pictures, and informative non-fiction facts into one book that will mesmerize kids and challenge adults. It is a great book for teachers to aid in science and literature instruction as well as for parents to enhance their child's education at home in an extremely entertaining way. This book should be in every child's or elementary teacher's library. It is such a interesting book that when I'm not using it in my classroom, I plan to display it as a coffee table book. You have to see the book's detail to appreciate its beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful mix of information, word play and photos, September 26, 2007
By Deb L. Marciano (Chestertown, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In this exceptional integration of language, photography, and informational text, poetic verse introduces the animals hidden in their natural environments. These descriptive clues will lure readers into the intriguing photos to locate the camouflaged animal. With a flip of the page, each animal is highlighted against the photos' backgrounds, where more information about the animal awaits.
