An illustrated children’s book set in Africa where animals hear a hunter is coming and literally paint themselves to blend in with the landscape. Giraffes disguise themselves as trees, elephants as hills/rocks, and other animals including flamingos, hippos, and crocodiles disguise themselves too. The hunter is a white man in safari clothes and is completely fooled by the animals.

Cannot for the life of me remember the name of this book, and I know I didn’t dream it. Thanks for your help!
