Praise for Animal Habitats: Search & Find Activity Book (for young naturalists ages 6-9)

"The focus is on food chains in this follow-up to the dazzling Animal Camouflage. Once again Dennis' precise, realistic cut-paper illustrations command attention. Labeled silhouettes of individual plants and animals are color coded to show their predator/prey relationships within seven marine or terrestrial habitats; these are followed by intricate, full-page monochrome scenes in which the flora and fauna are artfully incorporated to be picked out by the sharp of eye."
- Kirkus Reviews

"This is a gorgeous illustrated work featuring facts about animal habitats while combining the enthralling aspect of popular search-and-find books like "I Spy." With facts and clear diagrams of animal food chains, the text and graphics complement each other to give a wonderful overview of the surrounding world, as well as the living creatures in it. A perfect addition to elementary school nonfiction collections."
