Spots, stripes, color, and texture all stand out in another visually dynamic look at the natural world from Lois Ehlert. Short, playful rhymes accompany Ehlert’s striking collage portraits of striped and spotted animals and insects set against bright white page backgrounds. Every page spread is artfully designed, and every illustration is artistically inspiring in a book that concludes with a short note discussing the role of spots and stripes in nature, whether it’s to camouflage or to call attention. (Ages 3–7)
