Synopsis

Find out what a panther chameleon has in common with a web-footed gecko. Learn what sets a panther chameleon apart from a saltwater crocodile.

Charts and sidebars support key ideas and provide details. Through gathering information about similarities and differences, readers will make connections and draw conclusions about what makes this animal a reptile and how reptiles are alike and different from each other.

Review

"Students can put their critical thinking skills to the test with these well-designed and accessible titles that make comparisons among different reptiles. Starting off with a quick overview of its subject, each book goes on to compare the highlighted animal to eight other related creatures, touching on standard topics such as diet, habitat, and behavior. Featuring a few charts and some eye-catching photographs, these selections are solid contenders in a saturated field."―School Library Journal
