I really enjoyed the book Where else in the Wild and found it to be an excellent way to keep a child's interest while reading an informational book. My favorite part of this book is how the author introduced each animal with a picture that gets the child involved in searching for the animal and a short poem that helps the student know a little bit about what they are looking for. I also enjoyed how at times the poems were even printed in the shape of the animal to add a little to the understanding of what is important in the picture. I found it very helpful that the author had multiple pictures of each animal and he also gave multiple interesting facts about each animal instead of simply giving the basics about what they eat and what their habitat is. The author also included close up pictures of special adaptations these animals had to show the students the more interesting things. The purpose of this book is to teach children about animal adaptation in a fun and creative way. ( ) I enjoyed this book for two reasons. The first reason being that there are photographs of each insect presented that is made into a fun little game for the readers. After each page is a new insect along with a picture, the photographer took photos of the camouflaged creatures and it is up to the reader to search the picture to find the hidden creature. Kuhn provides the answers on a flip page or in the back which he states for each picture where the answers are located. The book is written in poetic form which makes it an easy and entertaining read. The words and information flow really well and are laid out on the pages in varying ways. For example, the poem about the inch worm on page three the words are laid out in the form of an inch worm as if it were moving across the page. The purpose of this book is to inform the reader of different creatures that use camouflage to hide themselves from predators. Where Else in the Wild? is a book of clever photographs with camouflaged animals hidden among the world in which they reside. Each photograph contains a clue written as a poem. The camouflaged animal is revealed by lifting the page. The poems are delightful. My favorite has to be “Ambushed.” The information about the animal is expounded upon on once the reader opens up the oversized page. Each animal selected is fascinating and remarkable.A bit:“If there were Olympic Games for underwater camouflage, the scorpionfish would take the gold! One of nature’s camouflage champions, the scorpionfish is the opposite of what most people expect of a tropical fish. It is not sleek, graceful, or brightly colored. Its color is a mottled mixture of gray, brown, and black. This strange-looking fish blends so well into a reef or rocky ocean bottom that you’d have trouble finding one, even if you knew exactly where to look!” sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Photographs, rhyming text, and gatefold pages illustrate how animals use camouflage to blend in with their natural environments and hide from predators. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
