summary : This non fiction book is full of actual photographs from Komodo Island where these large lizards originate from. The book is written in simple factual text with a table of contents and a glossary. Each picture demonstrates what the words say on the opposite page, which makes it easier for decoding and comprehending. The book describes their physical characteristics, eating habits, reproduction and where they live.
Comments: This is a great book that fascinates me, as well as my students. The pictures are amazing. It is of high interest especially because many children are not familiar with this animal. If planing a trip to the Shedd Aquarium, this book is a most and there is an excellent movie on livetext too!
