Explores the characteristics and the history of the salamander, from the Middle Ages when people thought they were magical creatures composed of fire, to the modern era in which scientists study their ability to regrow severed limbs.
My daughter chose this at the school library. She gave it 5*, I had to drop it. It is an incredibly informative book on salamanders with detailed real photos. However it was so hard to read. There were not enough subheadings or breaks in the text - it was one continuous paragraph all the way through only broken by big photos. Could be and has been done a lot better.
