Series Review: Really Wild Reptiles
Outstanding large, color photos are the draw for this series. In particular, the images in Chameleons have a definite wow factor. These brilliantly colored reptiles leap from the pages with their rainbow hues. The images, however, are not for the squeamish: in Komodo Dragons, the reptile is shown devouring no-longer-recognizable prey, and a photo in Gila Monsters shows a furry creature being consumed. That aside, the close-up of a nocturnal geckos eye or the charming photo of romantic iguanas will mesmerize children. The solid texts are equally good. Each volume begins with an introduction, followed by sections on body parts, survival tactics, habitats, diets, life cycles, and more. What a Wild Life! text boxes deliver additional facts (e.g., Gila monster venom doesnt hurt other Gila monsters). These high-interest introductions will delight for report writers and browsers.
