The narrative is informative and compelling; illustrations are accurate and animated; definitions are imbedded in the illustrations; maps, diagrams, and "sound bite" facts supplement the text throughout. Most importantly, the text does not talk "down" to young children-- this text is informative for anyone interested in the topic. Young readers, such as my 3-year-old son, will be drawn to the colorful illustrations. I was also impressed by the sophisticated level of comparisons (alligators vs. crocodiles) throughout the text. This book is a great addition to any elementary classroom or library. This book would have received 5 stars if it only it contained a "source page" (bibliographical references)in the back (curiously and unnecessarily absent). (easy, non-fiction, Louisiana) This is a well presented visual non fiction book on the differences and similarities between alligators and crocodiles. 'The geographic and linguistic origin of the reptiles are discussed ,as well as the alligator skin industry and habitat preservation. It is a very thorough investigation into the topic for a children's book. The facts are interpreted effectively through the use of labeled colorful diagrams. The end of the book supplies a supplemental page with interesting facts and figures on alligators and crocodiles along with an additional website option. This book would be good to introduce any units on swamps, reptiles, Louisiana, Florida, alligators, crocodiles or even wildlife preservation. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"This updated edition vetted by an expert introduces young readers to everything they would want to know about the closest living relatives of dinosaurs, alligators and crocodiles. With kid-friendly text and diagrams, Gibbons compares the two reptiles--their physical differences, what they eat, where they are found, how fast they swim, how they raise their young, and more. Kids will want to read this book again and again to learn all about these crocodilians that have been around for millions of years. A great read-aloud for the child who loves the reptile house at the zoo or nonfiction resource for older children. Includes extra facts about alligators and crocodiles in the back!"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
