Editorial Review

“The life cycle of members of the crocodilian family is cleverly and humorously described in this delightful book. The informative text, framed in a ‘Q and A’ format, encompasses many pertinent facts about alligators, crocodiles, caimans and gharials and flows easily from one area to another. Habitats are described, best sites for nests are noted and the developmental cycle within the egg is skillfully outlined. After the hatchlings appear, the text describes parental care, predators to be aware of, and when the young are mature enough to ‘leave home.’ Colorful and whimsical illustrations add greatly to the book.” —Science Books & Films
