A full-color, nonfiction picture book about how reptiles adapt to their environments to survive and thrive in the natural world! A lizard that walks on water? A snake that slithers sideways? These are animal adaptations! In Water-Walking, Sidewinding, and Other Remarkable Reptile Adaptations, children ages 5 to 8 learn how and why the green basilisk lizard runs on the water's surface, along with the very good reasons sidewinder snakes move the way they do. Explore these reptile adaptations and more with vivid illustrations, layered text, a hands-on activity, and plentiful back matter that motivates readers to further investigate the remarkable adaptations of reptiles. An acrostic poem at the beginning of the book offers a language-based entry into science details. Perfect as a read aloud or early reader for science-curious kids!
Water-Walking, Sidewinding, and Other Remarkable Reptile Adaptations is part of a set of five books in the Picture Book Science series that explore strange-but-true tales of adaptation. Other titles in this series include Stink Fights, Earwax, and Other Marvelous Mammal Adaptations; Antifreeze, Leaf Costumes, and Other Fabulous Fish Adaptations; Spit Nests, Puke Power, and Other Brilliant Bird Adaptations; and Sunscreen, Frogsicles, and Other Amazing Amphibian Adaptations.
