Reptiles introduces readers to the huge range of reptiles that live both on land
and in water. These animals come in all shapes and sizes, and many have unusual talents. Children will be amazed to find out why snakes swallow their meals whole, why geckos have to lick their eyes, and how chameleons catch insects with their tongues. The vivid microphotography and splashy illustrations take readers up close and personal with these slippery, slithery animal favorites!
