Explorers: Reptiles

Reptiles are a source of endless fascination for children. Starting with the basic question of "What is a reptile?" and proceeding through habitat, feeding, hunting, survival strategies, and bearing young. Explorers: Reptiles draws readers in through a series of six beautiful story scenes that place reptile behavior in the context of the natural world. Each spread is followed with a detail page full of photographs and scientific explanations that expand on the elements in the previous scene. Young readers can choose to read the book sequentially, or to move through the book following thematic links that interest them such as "environmental science". This book is the perfect introduction to the fascinating world of reptiles from the smallest lizard to the biggest alligator and everything in between.

Explorers are designed to appeal to young readers: those who are just starting to read alone and more confident readers who are beginning to exercise wider reading and cross-referencing skills. Lively, dramatic artwork scenes draw children into a subject, and each scene is followed by a photographic information spread that gives a wealth of extra detail. As a fun extra element, the reader can follow themed links to access information on related topics.
