The attributes of 28 different lizards are revealed in this STEM
nonfiction picture book, while the story provides a subtle message
encouraging children to be true to their own nature. The actions of
28 lizard species--the flying dragon that swoops through the air,
the shingleback that sticks out its blue tongue to scare predators,
the basilisk that can race across the surface of water--invite
readers to act like a lizard themselves. The text by noted author
April Pulley Sayre asks: "Can you run like a lizard? Sun like a
lizard? Bob your head like a lizard?" Featuring brilliantly
colorful, textured artwork by illustrator Stephanie Laberis, the
book also includes extensive back matter with further information
about the featured lizard species--their size, geographical range,
why they perform the various actions introduced in the text--as
well as details about lizards in general.
