Do you know the difference between alligators and crocodiles...? Learn the latest facts about the world’s largest reptiles from beloved science writer for kids Gail Gibbons.

This updated edition vetted by an expert introduces young readers to everything they would want to know about the closest living relatives of dinosaurs, alligators and crocodiles.
 
With kid-friendly text and diagrams, Gibbons compares the two reptiles--their physical differences, what they eat, where they are found, how fast they swim, how they raise their young, and more.

Kids will want to read this book again and again to learn all about these crocodilians that have been around for millions of years. A great read-aloud for the child who loves the reptile house at the zoo or nonfiction resource for older children. Includes extra facts about alligators and crocodiles in the back! 
 

From gailgibbons.com: I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1944. Even as a little child, I was always busy putting books together. Sometimes I would bind them with yarn to hold the pages together. I've always loved drawing and painting. I was also a very curious child. My parents tell me that I was always asking lots and lots of questions.Later, I went on to the University of Illinois, where I studied graphic design. Then I moved to New York City, where I got a job doing artwork for television shows. Eventually I was asked to do the artwork for a children's show. While doing that show, some of the children asked me if I had ever thought of doing children's books. My mind immediately recalled how much I enjoyed doing that type of thing when I was a child. So I put an idea for a book together and right away a publisher bought it. That book was called Willy and His Wheel Wagon. Since then, over 170 books that I have written and illustrated have been published. The type of books I write are non-fiction books. This is because I love researching so much. I get to ask lots of questions, just like when I was a kid. I also get to travel and meet lots of interesting people. While doing research for my book Nature's Green Umbrella: Tropical Rain Forests, I traveled to two islands where there are tropical rain forests, Saba and Dominica. I also had a great time writing and illustrating the book. I get a lot of pleasure from doing the type of work I do.
