What has cat-like eyes, a tail shaped like a turnip, and can drop its tail to escape a predator?
Meet the fat-tailed gecko — one of the most amazing little reptiles on Earth!
In The Amazing Fat-Tailed Gecko, young readers will travel to the grasslands of West Africa to discover a gentle lizard with incredible survival skills.

Inside this book, readers will learn:
• How the fat-tailed gecko uses its chunky tail to store energy for tough times
• Why this gecko can blink and clean its own eyes with its eyelids
• How it uses camouflage, tail drops, and a secret defense posture to fool predators
• What baby geckos look like and how temperature decides if they are male or female
• Why fat-tailed geckos are popular pets and how scientists are studying them
Packed with fun facts, a glossary, quiz questions, and hands-on activities, this chapter book makes learning about the fat-tailed gecko an adventure.
Written at a second-grade reading level. Perfect for young readers ages 7–9.
Book 1 in the Chapter Books for Young Explorers series.
