Dazzle Ships by Chris Barton tells the story of how the Allied forces during WWI attempted to thwart the German U-Boat attacks on naval ships by using the concept of camouflage. After failed attempts to maneuver ships carrying munitions, food, military personnel, civilians and other supplies, a new, creative and outlandish idea was concocted. In this book, the reader will learn the brief history that lead to paining ships in dazzling designs and colors. The illustrations appropriate use of color, design, and pattern to fill the pages with camouflage to depict the story. Complete with timeline, author/illustrator notes and additional resources, this book is a great reference for students of history, art and the research process.
