Sneed B. Collard III's Most Fun Book Ever About Lizards
Read Free Books and Download eBooks

Lizards are cool. Literally. They are ectotherms, which means they can’t make their own heat. That’s why you see many types of lizards basking in the sun, seemingly doing nothing at all. That’s the life. But make no mistake, lizards have very busy lives—looking for food and avoiding being food. Popular science writer Sneed B. Collard III gets down and dirty with all kinds of lizards—from your average "Joe Lizard," the western fence lizard, to the impressively large Komodo dragon. In a kid-friendly narrative, Sneed explores many different kinds of lizards, their habitats, defense systems, hunting techniques, and mating rituals. He reveals the exciting life of a lizard—from rappelling from the tops of trees to the forest floor, to dropping off a tail to get away from a predator.

I am not happy because why can you not say how many pages too the Lizard books you sell. I take my 54 dragons to schools. I loan my book too the teacher to read an share with kids. But when a book have 30 or less pages there not enough information for the teacher or myself and the kids get bored. I've gotten books from pet store with tons of pages pictures an information. Please say how many pages in books so the person buying it can decide enough or not.

The book is designed with young people in mind, with pictures and text that do not "talk down" to pre-teens. The text is concise, easy to understand and educational.

Best used with older students. Author's humor a little odd.

Clear, concise, informative text for young readers. Wonderful photographs of lizards and a fun sense of humor add greatly to the text to help children gain a greater understanding of these reptiles!

my kid carries this book everywhere...
