Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Large and lazy lizards aren't quite the terrifying beasts an animal with "monster" in its name calls to mind; but Gila monsters have a deadly, venomous bite. Readers are introduced to a slow-moving reptile with a wild way of protecting itself from predators. Full-color photographs of brightly patterned Gila monsters will absorb readers as they learn all about a Gila monster's life through accessible science content. Fun fact boxes add to the cool information readers will be excited to share.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 23) and index.
