Dinosaurs, the world's most notorious reptiles, became extinct a long time ago. However, their cold-blooded, scaly reptile relatives still creep around today. While people no longer have to fear the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, they still encounter the jaws of alligators, crocodiles, and snakes. Explore the reptile realm in this book for beginning readers.
Just right for an emerging reader who is looking for the chance to learn some beginning facts. This does just enough without overcomplicating the matter. The photography is very clear and engaging and the book does an admirable job of explaining some basic matters of biological classification, which a teacher will appreciate though a student might not see as terribly important yet. Good elementary library book.
