Alligators and Crocodiles

Description

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. Review: Teaching tool - My last review was rejected because it said it didn't meet community standards. Yet it did meet community standards. So let's try this again. The book is a great teaching tool for children. We like Gail Gibbons books. Review: I have loved alligators and crocodiles for as long as I can ... - I have loved alligators and crocodiles for as long as I can rememeber. (As a child, I drove my parents crazy with requests for our family to move to Miami where I could be near the alligators!) Gail Gibbons is absolutely brilliant. This book captures the fascination and joy these huge reptiles have always held for me. I have several of her books, and love them all, but she has absolutely outdone herself on this one! It is one of my favorite books of all time. I love to read it for the sheer joy it brings. Brilliant job!
