(#37) Animal Survival
How to survive? Do you hop, crawl, swim or fly? Will you claw and chew your way through life, or hide and blend in? Do you carry heavy armor, sport quills, sting or just smell bad? Animal Survival is a wonderful blend of science, art and imagination. Make a tiny tempera paint kit improvised from aluminum foil. Finger-paint a desert-scape, then create a lizard to blend right in. Camouflage paper moths so perfectly that not even Hungry Bird (the school principal) can see them. Create a cornflake to mimic the real thing. This book helps every student enjoy and appreciate the wit and wonder of nature.
