Reptiles (Wild World: Fast and Slow Animals)

by Brenna Maloney

Overview

Ready, set, go! Did you ever wonder which animals are the fastest... and the slowest?

All reptiles can move! But how do these animals actually go from place to place? Some lizards can walk on all fours or run on their back legs. Snakes can slither on their bellies. Turtles can paddle in water using their flippers. Crocodiles can do a belly crawl on land. Which animal do you think would win in a race? Look inside to discover which of the ten reptiles in this book are super slow and which ones are really fast!

ABOUT THE SERIES:

Kids can’t get enough animal facts! Starting with the slowest animal in each group — amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles — readers will want to read to the end as the ten animals listed get faster and faster. All the books in this brand-new series brim with colorful photographs and fascinating facts about the featured animals body, diet and habitat. Short blocks of text entertain and explain why some animals are super slow while others are really fast!
