Sandra Severgnini is the author and illustrator of Dung Beetle on a Roll. If you haven’t seen this book I highly recommend you seek it out.
In. her latest book, Look, See, Find Me, she reveals just how clever animals can be when it comes to hiding themselves in nature to ensure their survival.
We begin at night, gazing at the cracked bark of an Australian tree. Can you spot the Western screech-owl or the pandora pinemoth? Turn the page, and you’ll find soft green leaves on a branch – where are the European mantis and the great green bush-cricket hiding?
Some creatures are especially tricky to find, like the black-spotted sticky frog and the Malayan horned frog, perfectly camouflaged among the brown leaf litter on the forest floor.
Across the pages, you’ll discover a wonderful variety of animals – stick insects, geckos, spiders, even seahorses that are particularly hard to spot.
The rich, detailed illustrations fill each page, inviting young readers to search for the hidden animals nestled in their natural surroundings.
At the back of the book, there’s more to explore – fascinating facts about each animal and insights into how camouflage works.
Look, See, Find Me gives young readers a new appreciation for the cleverness of nature – and reminds us that if we look closely enough, we might just see a little creature watching us back.
