Animal Mimics

Look-Alikes and Copycats

Series: Amazing Animal Defenses

By Susan K. Mitchell

Can you tell the difference between a harmless king snake and a poisonous coral snake? Most predators can’t, which means that they leave both snakes alone! Author Susan K. Mitchell explores how mimicry can help keep an animal safe, by looking like—or even acting like—another animal.

Librarian's Book Review, December 2009

"The close-up photos are frequent and well chosen, and accompanied by clear, simply phrased texts, which are more detailed than average . . . An unusual feature is each volume's closing discussion of human equivalent . . ."

School Library Journal, Fall 2008

"Fascinating facts abound in these colorful books . . . a good choice for reluctant readers . . . The clever chapter titles are attention getting and will interest children who think science holds no appeal, researchers, and browsers alike."
