Harrison has published more than eighty books, has been a keynote speaker or presenter at 265 state, regional, and national conferences in 30 states and has an elementary school named after him. David first book for children, The Boy with a Drum (Golden Press), was released in 1969 and has sold two million copies.

Every illustration he makes involves drawing, cutting, painting, and gluing--and often has seven or eight layers.
Find me if you can. . . for if you don't, I'll be here tomorrow . . . you won't. Animals and insects use camouflage to hide from hunters or to ambush prey. Stealth is a very useful technique when it comes to survival. In this fun and informative collection of poems, we meet animals such as the polar bear and the octopus; the ghost crab and the copperhead snake; and many more that use camouflage to hunt or to hide. Giles Laroche's intricate cut-paper illustrations are beautiful and life-like. Readers will have to look carefully or run the risk of a hunter sneaking up on them. Back matter offers additional information about each of the nineteen animals.
