Large and lazy lizards aren't quite the terrifying beasts an animal with "monster" in its name calls to mind; but Gila monsters have a deadly, venomous bite. Readers are introduced to a slow-moving reptile with a wild way of protecting itself from predators. Full-color photographs of brightly patterned Gila monsters will absorb readers as they learn all about a Gila monster's life through accessible science content. Fun fact boxes add to the cool information readers will be excited to share.

      Gr 2-4-Outstanding large, color photos are the draw for this series. In particular, the images in Chameleons have a definite "wow" factor. These brilliantly colored reptiles leap from the pages with their rainbow hues. The images, however, are not for the squeamish: in Komodo Dragons, the reptile is shown devouring no-longer-recognizable prey, and a photo in Gila Monsters shows a furry creature being consumed. That aside, the close-up of a nocturnal gecko's eye or the charming photo of romantic iguanas will mesmerize children. The solid texts are equally good. Each volume begins with an introduction, followed by sections on body parts, survival tactics, habitats, diets, life cycles, and more. "What a Wild Life!" text boxes deliver additional facts (e.g., "Gila monster venom doesn't hurt other Gila monsters"). These high-interest introductions will delight for report writers and browsers.
