Tracy C. Read is an editor and writer with a special interest in nature and the environment.
There's plenty of nonfiction for elementary grades, but finding
attractive nonfiction for secondary can be more of a challenge. The
"Exploring the World of..." series answers that need. Crisp
close-up photographs augment the clear, well-written text...
Younger students would find much to enjoy in the photographs...
Readers will learn about alligator and crocodiles, their habitats,
history, anatomy, diet, and life cycle. Interesting, upper-level
facts abound... This is an eye-catching book suitable for secondary
library shelves.--Teresa Bateman "Puget Sound Council for the
Review of Children's and Young Adult Literature" (8/10/2018

The photography contained in Exploring the World of Alligators and
Crocodiles is exquisite. The anatomical structure is detailed and
diagrammed. Sensory data is displayed and courtship pictures and
inset with young hatching. A crocodilian gallery features the
variety of this order, from the Saltwater Crocodile and Cuvier's
Dwarf Caiman to the American Alligator and Mugger Crocodile. The
photographers portray a species that is dangerous, yet protected as
its numbers decrease.--Judy Kraus "National Science Teachers
Association" (9/29/2017 12:00:00 AM)
