Crocodiles, we have read how cunning, scary and ruthless they are if something gets in their sight. Martin Jenkins introduces young scientists to  this toothy , scaly reptile. Along with the scary part, Jenkins paints a kinder side to the crocodile. they sunbathe in the sand, cool off in the water and crocodile mothers are protective and gentle with their young. In a conversational text, readers learn a lot about one of the deadliest reptiles in the world. Satoshi Kitamura’s illustrations done in mixed media are true to fact but soften the scarier facts about crocodiles. He has added additional information and websites for those interested in furthering their interest in this reptile.This is the book for the budding herpetologist. Good for grades k-5.
