Reviews

“Using many interesting, full-color photographs and a question-and-answer format, this book provides a wide range of information about lizards. This book is part of a series that tells the truth about dogs, cats, owls, frogs, spiders, and sharks. Useful for independent reading, book discussion groups, and science inquiries, this material could prompt further research and reporting about animals. Lots of photographs and surprising information about lizards make this book appealing and informative.”

—School Library Journal

“I like the way Annette begins each section with a question, like “what good are lizards’ toes?”  I love the photographs that capture lizards at their scaly-est. And there are extra facts on each spread under “scales & tails” where we can discover things like how geckos can hang upside down. Back matter includes caring for a lizard as a pet, an introduction to some scaly superstars, a hands-on exploration of how chameleon tongues work, and a glossary.”
