This book is rudimentary to the point of incompleteness.  It leaves out some of the most fascinating facts about the creatures featured in this book.  For instance, did you know that komodo dragons are venomous and also harbor toxic bacteria in their mouths?  They bite their prey and then follow it around for days, waiting for it to die.  Did you know that the Texas horned lizard collects water on its back?  This is just one of its many amazing desert adaptations.  The facts presented in this book were uninspired...size, habitat, etc.  Also, the picture of the GREEN IGUANA in this book is actually a BEARDED DRAGON and not an iguana at all.  When my daughter and I noticed this, we debated whether or not to even finish this book!
