The Nature Kid's Guide to Komodo Dragons: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Komodo Dragons! - Paperback

by David Anderson (Author)

Hiss! A forked tongue flicks through the hot air, tasting for prey. A massive lizard steps out of the shadows, ten feet long and ready to hunt. It's a Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on Earth.

These animals aren't leftover dinosaurs, but they're the closest thing we've got. They have venomous bites, armor under their skin, and can swallow 80 percent of their body weight in a single meal.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Komodo Dragons" is written for curious kids ages 7-12 who want to learn about these incredible reptiles. How do Komodo dragons smell with their tongues? Why do baby dragons live in trees for four years? What happens when two males wrestle for a mate? Your child will uncover the answers and want to share them at dinner.

The short sentences and simple words make this a great fit for Level 2 readers, while the jaw-dropping facts keep even older kids hooked. Fun facts and "Did You Know?" callouts add extra surprises on every spread.

A book for kids who love reptiles, prehistoric creatures, and animals that rule their world.

Part lizard, part legend. Your child is about to meet a real-life dragon.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kids Guide series. Your child's next favorite animal is waiting.
