Miles and Miles of Reptiles: All about Reptiles

The Cat in the Hat turns a tour of reptiles into an introduction to animal facts, with lizards, snakes, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, and chameleons among the subjects. The rhyming presentation and illustrations give the information a storybook format, while details such as how snakes use their tongues to smell and why chameleons change color bring the focus to particular adaptations. An index, glossary, and suggestions for further learning provide reference points beyond the rhyming text. The book combines a fictional guide with nonfiction material about reptiles.
