This review is from: Caimans (Animals of the Rain Forest) (Library Binding)

"Caimans," by Sam Dollar, is part of the "Animals of the Rain Forest" series. This is a short, easy-to-read book. Included in its 32 pages are a glossary, a short list of relevant Web sites, and an index. A map of the caimans' range puts the subject in geographic perspective.

The clear text delivers the facts effectively, and is well complemented by a rich assortment of crisp, full-color photographs. There are even a couple of photos of cute baby caimans. The text covers the basics: anatomy, how they hunt and eat, life cycle, and different species of caiman. Overall, an informative and visually enjoyable book for young readers.
