A fun book is packed with fascinating facts about the ever-popular subject of Lizards, from tiny geckos to giant monitors.

With thousands of species found all over the world, Lizards come in all shapes and sizes and are full of surprises.
  • Chameleons shoot out their tongue like a catapult to catch prey.
  • Marine Iguanas sneeze out salty snot made from seawater.
  • Many lizards can shed their tail to escape
  • predators, then they grow a replacement.
The opening pages ask the question: ‘What is a Lizard?’, looking at some of the more unusual snake-like lizard species and reptile relatives such as crocodiles and dinosaurs.

After that, each spread covers a different aspect of lizard life, from ‘Family life’ and ‘What’s for dinner?’ to ‘Amazing adaptations’ and the mind-blowing techniques used by some lizards to deter predators.

Bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that’s bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
