Animal Hide and Seek is a spectacular book to read to students in an elementary school setting. This book is a great science book that helps describe the struggle of staying alive for some animals. You see, animals have their own secret way of adapting to nature to better protect themselves from harm. How do animals do this strange thing in nature? Is this strategy successful for most? What kinds of things do animals do to protect themselves from harm? Read this book to answer all of your questions.

The pictures in this book were produced by several photographers. Many of the pictures were reproduced for this book, Animal Hide and Seek. However, the book has marvelous pictures that help express the information within the text. Each picture is very detailed and shows very vivid descriptions of the animals who like to hide from predators. The pictures also help to visualize the animals being described within the book. All in all, the pictures go hand in hand with the text to help deliverer the information to the fullest.

This book can be cooperated into the classroom in three different ways. The first way is by using the information in the text to support a science lesson about camouflage. Secondly, this book has a great picture glossary. Throughout the text, there are several vocabulary words. The vocabulary words are pulled out to the side and have pictures representing the vocabulary word. Lastly, I could also use this book to help show students examples of well rounded simple sentences.
