Goodreads

Lizards in all sort of shades and sizes are introduced in these colorful pages.  Although there is not enough information for report writing the back pages do provide some essential information regarding all 28 varieties of lizards presented.   There are several pages that will spark discussions regarding reptiles in general and their place on the food chain.  Many future naturalist will search for the Komodo Dragon but some will be enthralled by the less scary gecko.  The illustrations are very life like and show how the animals blend into their environment.

Like a Lizard will be useful in STEM programs but there could be many request and a long waiting time for grade 1-3 students at the school library.   Public libraries should add this to their animal collection, the book will not sit on the shelf for long.
