Crocodile: Disappearing Dragon

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Morin. From raccoons to gun-wielding humans, there are threats everywhere to the endangered American crocodile. The straightforward, simple text, which tells the story of one female crocodile, and the realistic, luminous oil paintings capture the beauty of the mangrove swamp where this female mates, builds a nest, and hatches her young. An endnote gives further details of the plight of this descendant of the dinosaurs.
