Hirsch, Rebecca E.
Panther Chameleons: Color-Changing Reptiles Lerner Publications, 2016. $9.00 PICTURE BOOK
Content: G.
Panther Chameleons
from Madagascar are explained through pictures and factual sidebars. Eight other reptiles such as saltwater
crocodiles, iguanas and geckos are also explained and then compared to the
Panther Chameleon. There are cool
pictures and interesting facts throughout this book, but the layout is super
confusing. At times there are diagrams
comparing the reptile against the Panther Chameleon, and other times there are
not. Also there seems to be a big
difference between some of the reptiles and it’s a wonder they are being
compared at all--not all of them are "color-changing reptiles". The cover is deceiving
because it looks like the entire book is going to be about chameleons but it is
not. The amount of facts and information
move this to upper elementary, but there are better reptile books out
there.
