Do you know the difference between alligators and crocodiles...?
Alligators and crocodiles are the world's largest reptiles and the closest living relatives of dinosaurs. In this extremely interesting nonfiction picture book, Gibbons compares the two reptiles by giving facts about both--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-alound for the interested child or non-fiction resource for older children.
Drawings are labeled throughout with additional information.
According to The Washington Post, Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator." Ms. Gibbons has published more than 100 informational titles, including the bestselling titles From Seed to Plant and Monarch Butterfly, all fully vetted by experts. Her many honors include the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book Award.
"Gbbons’s latest addresses the similarities and differences between two reptiles commonly confused by adults and children alike. Through clear, concise text, diagrams, maps, close-ups and lots of side-by-side comparisons, the author clearly delineates the characteristics that differentiate these two groups. . . . Covering their history, geographic areas, body structure, habitat, diet, adaptations, communication, mating, child rearing and threats to survival, this is a comprehensive but accessible look at crocodilians. The prolific author’s signature watercolor-and-ink artwork complements the text, supporting readers in learning the differences between alligators and crocodiles and allowing them opportunities to practice identification." —Kirkus Reviews
