Inspired by the aquarium exhibit Art of Deception, Birch Aquarium recently released its first children’s book, What Color Would You Be to Hide in the Sea?, which explores and celebrates the fascinating camouflage strategies used by some of the ocean’s most spectacular creatures. Featuring a rich blend of color photographs, lush watercolors, playful poems, and engaging science notes, children and adults will uncover marine animals normally hidden in the sea. The book is available for $18.95 at the aquarium bookshop, or online. (858/534-8753, www.aquarium.ucsd.edu) JANE SHIOMI
