How to Hide a Crocodile & Other Reptiles

I'm a herpetologist (someone who studies reptiles and amphibians) and I am always looking for reptile books that are accurate and fun. The illustrations are beautiful and creative. Thumbs up!

I am going to be teaching Science this summer and I thought this was a great book for children. I plan to use it on my lessons and it is going to make it more enjoyable for the children. This is a great book to have if you have children at home.

This and "How to Hide a Butterfly" are the two books of the entire series that my son is still requesting a good year after first receiving them. All of the books are at least good, but this one is one of the better ones. The best of them all is probably "How to Hide a Meadow Frog", which my son only no longer reads because it fell to pieces about 2 months ago from constant reading. Butterfly, Crocodile, and Octopus are all also very good. Unless you're buying the whole series, I'd take a pass on "How to Hide a Polar Bear" and "How to Hide a Parakeet". The former tries, but the mammals simply don't hide as interestingly as the insects or the amphibians, while the latter depends too much on the mottled brown birds, when there are plenty of birds out there that hide very well with more interesting coloration.
