Like a Lizard<\/strong><\/em>
\nby April Pulley Sayre; illus. by Stephanie Laberis
\n32 Pages; ages 4-8
\nBoyds Mills Press, 2019<\/p>\n

Can you run like a lizard? Sun like a lizard?<\/em><\/p>\n

What about doing pushups? Or dashing across water like a lizard? If you could live like a lizard, you\u2019d have lots of choices about how to behave. That\u2019s because there are about 6300 kinds of lizards living on Earth, and each of them is adapted to its habitat in certain ways. April Pulley Sayre presents an inside look at how 28 lizards make their living.<\/p>\n

What I like about this book<\/span>: I love that each page asks the reader to compare their life with that of a lizard \u2013 and each page features specific lizards doing their thing. Like frill-necked lizards showing off their collars, and geckos climbing twigs. I like the bright and realistic illustrations \u2013 I never knew about some of these lizards! And I like the back matter, where lizard secrets are revealed. Most of all, I like April\u2019s message that lizards and people can live together in harmony.<\/p>\n

Head over to Archimedes Notebook<\/a> for a book about crocodiles and some beyond-the-books activities.<\/p>\n
