Animals Can Be So Hard To See
Diane Swanson, Rose Cowles
Hardcover (Greystone, March 28, 2002)Nesting, tunneling, burrowing—these animals are playing hide and seek! Open your eyes wide and look around: can you find them? There’s Bird, nestled within thick leaves; Polar Bear snug in a snowdrift; Fox deep in a den it’s dug beneath big logs; and speckled Geko disguised as a rock. Creeping behind screens of big bamboo, Tiger waits for his dinner to come: the big cat’s stripes break up his shape and help conceal him. Did you find them all?

Animals Can Be So Playful
Diane Swanson, Rose Cowles
Hardcover (Greystone, March 28, 2002)Look at who’s pouncing and rolling and diving: animals can have such fun! Red fox springs up high-watch him go PLOP right on top of his brother. Deep in the jungle the orangutan swings and swoops, his long hand grabbing leafy branches. Cub on cub, frisky lions romp. Free of the sea, the dolphins jump, sailing into the sky. Grab a partner, twirl around, and the prairie dogs wrestle. Don’t you want to play, too?
