"Look very closely. / What do you see? / Mars? / Jupiter? / What could it be?" Serafini challenges readers to guess what his close-up photos show. With a page turn, the answer is revealed. Some of the supplied guesses (e.g., Mars, Jupiter) are confusing given the established pond environment, but children will enjoy speculating about each new circle of texture or color.

Turning the page reveals the answer: the whole exquisite picture of, say, a zebra tarantula, with accompanying information. Nine of these exercises offer intriguing glimpses inside the rainforest habitat.
