Size and shape are fundamental properties kids use to identify objects. Many objects are made from basic shapes, like triangles or squares, that are extended to three dimensions. In this book, colorful photographs show familiar objects and define their shapes, such as how a ball is a sphere. Further, kids might be surprised to learn that we can quantify how much space any object takes up, regardless of its shape.

Camouflage isn't just a type of clothing that hunters and soldiers wear to blend into natural surroundings. Animals have camouflage, too. Camouflage often relies on colors, but patterns help animals blend in, too. The leaf-tailed gecko uses the color and patterns on its body to conceal itself from predators. Its body mimics the leaves of the trees in which it lives. Many predators use camouflage to sneak up on their prey. This book explores the many different animals that employ camouflage and how this incredible adaptation has developed over time.
