Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-- These offshoots of the photographically outstanding "Eyewitness" books (Knopf) are equally attractive, smaller in size, and, as their titles suggest, emphasize the sensational aspects of their subjects. Starting with a general statement ("What is a frog?"), 11 intriguing topics are presented, with each double-spread dominated by a spectacular color photo. Short, snappy facts, observations, or folklore allusions loosely linked to the topic are placed around the focal photo, each one illustrated by a small full-color sketch, cartoon, or photo, for an eye-grabbing page. The introductory information is lively, with the appeal of "believe-it-or-not" that can lead to more delving. (Are all toads frogs? Is the Great Sphinx's face that of a woman?) While beginning readers will find the texts a challenge, the contents, treatments, and formats make these books terrific choices for reluctant and even remedial readers. --Ruth M.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Informative, Like Loco for Lizards, December 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Amazing Lizards (level 2) (Hello Reader) (Paperback)

Great little book--reminds me of Jim Cherry's Loco for Lizards, another "laugh out loud funny" book that seriously informs while keeping the reader amused. I highly recommend them both.

This review is from: Amazing Lizards (level 2) (Hello Reader) (Paperback)

I like this book a lot. I wonder how it was made. It has a lot of cool lizards. Some of them are huge, some are small. A lot of the lizards have dark stripes. That is what I like about this book.
