Every teacher should have this book.

I am a soon-to-be-teacher and have used this book for both art and life-science lessons. The striking illustrations really made Bold and Bright... a great choice for introducing contrast in an art lesson. And, although the information presented about each of the animals is minimal, I found the book to be a useful supplement to how creatures depend upon their visual appearance for survival. I especially liked how the book pointed out that not all black and white animals have those colorings for the same reasons. For instance, some use their color for camoflauge, while others use it to point out to preditors that they are poisonous. I'm really glad I have this book as part of my growing classroom library--the kid's loved it, and I'm sure I'll refer to it over and over again, for many different lessons.
