Gr 1-3A fine title to introduce young readers to the world of reptiles. Each spread contains large, crisp text describing a trait of reptiles or of a specific species, along with a realistic illustration that complements the fact. Children will learn about different types of reptiles, what they look like, how they move, what they eat, and how they reproduce. A glossary defines important terms in English and Spanish, and an afterword provides additional information. Facts as well as image captions are presented in English and Spanish. VERDICT Highly recommended for bilingual nonfiction collections, especially where the "About&30;" series is popular.Selenia Paz, Helen Hall Library, League City, TX
