A quality product.
I was pleased when I received this book. Since it was going to be used in the classroom, I wanted it to be easy to read and have illustrations that would add to the learning experience. It turned out to be just what I wanted!
This book gives you a nice basic overview of the desert iguana! Do you know what an ectotherm is?
If you look at the scaly, bumpy claw of an iguana you probably immediately think of dinosaurs as its appearance may remind you of an Iguanodon. The iguana is a reptile, has short stubby legs and has rough scaly skin that helps "hold in water" and protects it from predators. Iguanas can live in hot, dry places, but also can be found in rainforests. This book primarily takes a look at the desert iguana that can be found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
Iguanas cannot generate their own body heat and often "bask in the sun in the hot afternoon." They are ectotherms (cold-blooded) and because of that "their body heat changes to match the warmth or cold around them." If they get too hot, they will head for the shade to cool off their body. They have very sharp claws that will dig into the bark of a tree or bush and they can climb to escape the heat or find some food. The desert iguana eats "leaves, fruits, and flowers." You will also learn that it is a territorial reptile, it can camouflage itself by blending into the landscape, you'll learn about its predators, how it uses its claws to fight, how its tail can fall off if a predator grabs it, you'll see a photograph of a tail that was regenerated, you learn about how they "lay their eggs in burrows" and more!
This is a nice little introduction to animal science and reptiles that may spark an interest in nonfiction. This was not intended to be an extremely detailed book, but rather takes a general look at the iguana. The reading level is for ages 4 to 7, but does use proper scientific terminology such as the word "ectotherm." I like the fact that this book gives a lot of opportunity for classroom discussion and asks questions in the text. There are scattered informative dialogue balloons throughout the text and numerous photographs. In the back of the book is a "Desert Iguana Range Map," a diagram of an iguana, an index, a glossary and additional recommended book and website resources.
