Description
This book provides a basic introduction to newts, including their habitat, diet, and physical features.
Quick Summary
Newts are basically tiny, colorful dragons that live in ponds, and this book lets kids get up close to these fascinating amphibians through stunning photos and easy-to-read facts. Children will love discovering that newts can regrow their tails like magic, and the amazing close-up photos show these wiggly, wonderful creatures in their watery homes. If your kid likes the National Geographic Kids readers or "I Spy" animal books, they'll absolutely devour this one. Perfect for kindergarten through second graders (ages 5-8) who are beginning to read on their own.
