Six animals and their use of color, shape or markings to disguise themselves are described in this colorful slim volume from the Animal Superpowers series. The animals are from a variety of habitats, from ocean to desert and their natural abilities in camouflage are noted as occurring for a variety of important reasons. We learn that some animals are predators and use this ability to sneak up on their prey and others use it as a protection against their own predators.

Full color photos complement the text and bold words are defined in a glossary at the end of the book. Some cartoon-like illustrations break up the text and “Now you know!” boxes with additional cool facts are interspersed throughout.

This is a good introductory book to a variety of species and their use of camouflage. It might be lead to further investigation into this aspect of the animal kingdom.
