Natures Game of Hide and Seek

In a tangle of purple thistles, a pair of shiny black eyes blink inquisitively. Then with a sharp chatter and a flash of cinnamon stripes they disappear. This book introduces young wildlife enthusiasts to many of the creatures that live in the wilds of North America. Knowledge of wildlife is carefully condensed to a few succulent facts that entice readers to become active observers. Characterictics, habitat and environmental concerns are briefly addressed, but the focus remans on idintification. Beautiful color photographs capture the creatures in their natural environment. At the back of the book is a section that gives pointers on successful wildlife watching and additional facts. It lists animals that typically share the same habitat, and suggest locations where these groups may be observed.
