| Research Notes |
|
| “Before researching and writing this group of books, I enjoyed the vast variety of animal colors, but I never really thought about their importance as adaptations for survival. An animal's color can help it blend with its surroundings, warn predators to stay away, or let a mate know its whereabouts. Color makes the natural world more beautiful to us and they send other creatures all kinds of important messages." |
