Nature's Paintbrush by: Susan Stockdale



The Pattern and Colors Around You

Take a nature walk and experience various animals in their natural habit. Meet a poisonous dart frog and learn why they're always such a vibrant array of colors. Ever wonder why butterfly fish have an eye spot near their tails? Well questions like this are answered in "Nature's Paintbrush". With eye opening illustrations, readers get to see animals camouflaged and interacting in their habits. Readers are able to make connections between an animal's colors, their habitat, and means for survival.

Teachers could use this book when talking about habitats, niches, and landforms. This book would show students why animals live in these areas, and how the area caters to their needs and way of life. This could also be compared to the basic needs we have as people possess.
