Description
In the animal kingdom, survival is the name of the game—and not everything is as it seems. A number of animals rely on particularly clever tricks to fool predators or prey. A baby bird mimics a poisonous caterpillar. A moth escapes bats by making sounds that interfere with the bats' echolocation. A tiny rain forest spider builds a big spider "puppet" out of bits of dead leaves, insect parts, and other items. Find out more about some of nature's most bizarre and bloodthirsty con artists and meet the scientists who are working to figure out just how they pull off their amazing tricks.

This book does more than tell about creatures that disguise themselves in order to survive. It also has pages titled The Science behind the Story, which talk about the scientists who discovered the creatures and how they studied them. I loved how they had pictures of the scientists, most of whom were rather young. I think these pages are a great way to get children interested in the science field as a career. I highly recommend this book for elementary school libraries and families.
