Series: Wild World

Did you ever wonder which animals are the biggest... and the smallest?

Reptiles can be found in all shapes and sizes. Did you know a nano-chameleon is small enough to fit on a fingernail? Or, that the saltwater crocodile can grow to be 20 feet long? What do these animals look like and where do they live?

Look inside to discover which of the ten reptiles in this book are very small and which ones are really big!

ABOUT THE SERIES: Kids can't get enough animal facts! Starting with the smallest animal in each group -- amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles -- readers will want to read to the end as the ten animals listed get bigger and bigger.

All the books in this brand-new series brim with colorful photographs and fascinating facts about the featured animals´ body, diet, and habitat. Short blocks of text entertain and explain why some animals are very small while others are really big!

Gr 2-4--Travel beyond the amphibians and fish you know to discover new, unusual newts and giants of the ocean deep. A few familiar snakes and such are sprinkled throughout these collections of animals, but many are unfamiliar with new stories to tell. Packed with high-interest facts and eye-catching color photographs of wild animals in their natural environments, readers can be carried away on the currents or get lost in deep forests. Perhaps the most fun part is the size comparisons of each animal to common household objects to help readers grasp just how big or small an organism is. VERDICT Fantastic fun for animal lovers, and a good addition to any school-age collection.
