| Behind the Book |
|
| “The idea for this series began with butterflies and moths, but it didn’t take long for gators and crocs to find a spot on my list of titles. These deadly reptiles look similar and they are closely related, so I know kids would be curious about how they are different. |
|
| "I read a lot about these animals in books and I spoke with scientists who study them, but my favorite part of the research was getting a close-up view of the crafty critters during a family trip to Florida.” |

| Reviews |
|
| “This clever compare-and-contrast approach makes differences between often-confused creatures easy to understand and remember.” |

|
| “What makes this series so outstanding is the excellent close-up photography. Readers can easily see the differences between the animals without being bogged down by overwhelming text. These high quality books would be a welcome addition to an elementary animal science collection. They will be appreciated by animal lovers browsing the collection and classroom teachers presenting a beginning lesson on animal biology. A creative language arts teacher might even employ these volumes in a unit on opposites/antonyms and synonyms, drawing parallels from the animal world.” |
