Story Synopsis
In nature, being noticed isn’t always helpful. This story explains camouflage—how some animals blend in. Miluna shows two gentle reasons. One is protection: if an animal looks like a leaf, sand, or snow, predators may not spot it easily. The second is hunting: some animals blend in so they can get closer to their food without startling it. The story explains that camouflage can be color, pattern, or shape. A stick insect looks like a twig. Some fish match the ocean floor. Some animals can even change color a little. Miluna keeps the tone calm and respectful. It frames camouflage as a clever nature strategy and invites children to practice noticing patterns—an excellent quiet skill for both science and reading.
