My five-year old grandson is obsessed with the Wild Kratts. While he remembers everything he hears on the show and does not hesitate to share his knowledge, learning to read is a different story. He loves being read to, but he does not want to read to us. I had high hopes that “Wild Kratts Wild Reptiles: Snakes, Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles!” would help break down his resolve not to let us know his reading level and not to read aloud.The text of this book is interesting and informative. Both the rattlesnake and the crocodile have four pages of text devoted to each particular reptile. The draco and basilisk lizards and gila monster each receive two pages of text. Next, the rock python and gecko are presented; finally, there is a broad overview of the topics turtles and alligators, The print is large and easy to see; there is not so much text that it overwhelms a child reading the book. The illustrations look much like the animation from the “Wild Kratts” television show.“Wild Kratts Wild Reptiles: Snakes Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles!” is an excellent book with which to encourage young readers. My grandson has been willing to try reading this book aloud. It features some of his favorite PBS characters; it is short, but not too short; and, Martin and Chris “Activate Creature Power”! However, this is not a book meant to provide detailed zoological information and more complete overviews of these reptiles, their habits, and habitats. For the purpose of encouraging reading in those children who are Wild Kratt fans and reluctant to read, “Wild Kratts Wild Reptiles: Snakes Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles!” is an outstanding choice.
Who doesn’t like Wild Kratts*? My son has been a fan for a long time and this book fits the bill, as it is both interesting to him and educational. It is a science reader, and because it is Wild Kratts it combines fiction (the power suits) with non-fiction (animal facts).This is a level 2 reader, but it is an advanced level 2 reader. It is an advanced level 2 due to content and length. For example, younger early readers would do better with one of the Paw Patrol level 2 readers first – which has much simpler language. This reader is longer and has more advanced words like “structures”, “rattlesnake”, “poisonous”, “savannah”, “warthogs” and so on. It is also 32 pages of text. It is a challenge for an child that can read some of the simpler readers alone already. This book is best either for an older new reader, or a fan of Wild Kratts. And of course, it can be a read-aloud. It is full of interesting facts for the parents too.They do a good job with the pictures. The cartoons included are exactly like those in the show and there are plenty of illustrations. Excellent to help the children see the animals, make observations and be able to understand the text more fully.In my opinion, this is an excellent book and a great addition to any kid library.*Just in case you do not know who the Will Kratts are here is a little background. This is a show that can be found on PBS about two brothers who investigate animal powers and use the powers to create power suits. They believe wild animals should live free and in the wild. It has excellent content.
My nephew loves Wild Kratts and now that he is working on reading. He nephew is 7 and just started 1st grade so he just starting to read books on his own. The book is a little above his current reading level but I like that he has something to work towards while reading these books. It has a good amount of words he can read on his own with several that he has to sound out and work on figuring out what the word is.
love these books, great price, kids walks away learning something, parent feels good about reading, then one day child reads themselves, price is fantastic-keep making many book-different subjects-really enjoy learning along with my daughter
My kids love Wild Kratts and were so excited to get this book. My 8 year old second grader can daily read this. I only had to help with a few words, but she figures most of them out from her animal knowledge learned from the show!
My son loves the Wild Kratts and this book was right on his level (he's in 1st grade). It offered an informative look at snakes, while writing in a style and at a level that was appropriate for the age group to which it is intended.
My son is a fan of the Wild Kratts show and the two books--the other one is about sharks. This Reptiles book was available at the live Wild Kratts show, so he really thinks it is special since we bought it there. As usual, the book is informative and has the "feel" of the show, but it is easy for my son to read and digest himself.
boys enjoyed it (the love the Wild Kratts), but there wasn't much information in it. So, it's much more for fun and enjoying the characters and animals than it is about learning anything new.
