..".looking through the camouflage is part of the fun. The left-hand page of each two-spread contains a question--for example, 'Who is swinging in the tree?' The right-hand page is a swirl of jungle colors, flowers, and fauna...children looking carefully will see the brown arms of a monkey swinging on one of the vines. When they pull down the flap, the rest of the monkey appears. Each book contains five questions, and the batik-style art is lushly colored. Despite the density of the design, kids should be able to figure out who's hiding--both by locating the part of the hidden animal and by listening to the clue. A fun reason for children to put on their thinking caps."--"Booklist."

Orangutans, flamingos, frogs, seals, and penguins swing, hop, and cavort through these pages, while the book invites readers to join in and imitate them....The illustrations, even for the cold-weathered penguin, are cheerful and south-of-the-border..."--"Kirkus Reviews."
