Customer Reviews

delightfully slimy with reptillian rhyme!

This book of poetry is so wonderful for any age girl or boy. Each poem's rhythm and cadence evokes a feeling for the reptile it is about. My favorite is the "Alligator Stomp". Wonderful book! I bought an extra one and donated it to my child's school library.

A variety of poems presenting reptile facts within a fantasy

This book presented facts about types of reptiles through poetry in a way that captivated my five-year-old boy. He enjoyed the whimsical pictures and the context: imagining what it would be like to see reptiles dancing at a ball--without eating each other! In addition to reptile facts, the book demonstrated many different types of poetic form. A rhythmic reading of this books entertained and involved him from start to finish. This book could be used to teach zoology or poetry, but in both cases the result would be a fun time for all.
