Description

Click! Tiny toes grip the ceiling above your head. A pair of huge round eyes stare down at you. It's a gecko! If your child has ever wondered how a lizard walks upside down or why some of them scream when they're scared, this book is packed with answers they won't believe. "The Nature Kid's Guide to Geckos" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know what makes these little lizards so extraordinary. How do millions of invisible toe hairs let them stick to walls? Why do they lick their own eyeballs? And what happens when a predator grabs them by the tail? Your child will discover that geckos have been on Earth for over 100 million years, can see in full color in the dark, and sprint across water without sinking. They'll meet tokay geckos that shout their own name to scare off rivals, flying geckos that glide between trees, and leaf-tailed geckos that look so much like dead leaves that predators walk right past them. They'll learn that some gecko eggs decide to become boys or girls based on temperature -- and that hatchlings the size of a jellybean are completely on their own from the moment they break out of the shell. A book for kids who love reptiles and the wild tricks they use to survive. Sticky toes... colorful lizards... your child won't look at geckos the same way again. Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kid's Guide series. Your child's next favorite animal is waiting.
