"This stunning book invites young readers to look carefully at each page to try to find the animals and insects cleverly camoflaged within their natural environments... The rhyming narrative is lovely to read aloud and those two-page spread colour illustrations are exquisite. We love books that encourage participation and this one does so beautifully."
