for I See Animals Hiding by Jim Arnosky
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Wild animals are naturally shy, the author tells us, because there are many dangers in the wild. But if you look closely, you may see a speckled trout swimming among speckled stones or a garter snake slithering through the grass. With simple words and warm watercolor paintings, Arnosky encourages young readers to observe how animals have adapted to their surroundings so that they can hide by staying still and blending in. (Ages 3-6)

From the Publisher
A snake looks like a stick, an owl blends into a snowy landscape, and a moth vanishes when it lands on a tree trunk.
Award-winning naturalist Jim Arnosky demonstrates the extraordinary ways animals adapt to their environments through striking watercolor illustrations and simple text.
