Reptiles Are My Life

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Brett Johnson. "Amanda was crazy about insects. Maggie was wild about reptiles." This perfect friendship is interrupted by the arrival of another reptile lover, but eventually all three girls join forces. The concept and the bug and reptile facts are neat, but the girls, who sometimes use secret scientific names for each other, are hard to tell apart. The acrylic artwork includes realistic examples of reptiles and insects.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
