Synopsis

A gorgeous hide-and-seek extravaganza that showcases twelve of the most elusive animals on earth that use camouflage to disguise themselves. A timely and beautiful non-fiction book for nature lovers of every stripe. Now you see them, now you don’t! Cloaked in a riot of colour, pattern and texture are a dozen animals – from chameleons and polar bears to Gaboon vipers and mimic octopuses – that have mastered the art of fading into the background. Fact-packed pages segue into clever and beautifully illustrated seek-and-find spreads that put readers’ newfound knowledge of each creature and its ecosystem to the test. Marc Martin jets budding conservationists around the world and shows them the secrets of animal camouflage. A perfect gift for animal lovers.
