Flick! The Truth About Lizards

Gr 2-4–Using a large number of interesting full-color photographs and a question-and-answer format, this book provides a wide range of information about lizards. And since we learn that there are nearly 8,000 types of lizards, there is a great deal to learn. Questions addressed include these: “Where do lizards live?” “Why do lizards flick their tongues?” “What good are lizards’ toes?” “How do lizards grow?” Some of the information is truly surprising. This book is part of a series of books by the author that tell the truth about dogs, cats, owls, frogs, spiders, and sharks. Useful for independent reading, book discussion groups, and science inquiries, this material could prompt further research and reporting about animals. In fact, children could write their own books about an animal using a similar question-and-answer format.
