From the creator of the bestselling The Colorful World of Dinosaurs, this follow-up volume introduces fifty amazing reptiles with striking watercolor art and fun facts on each. Beloved author-illustrator Matt Sewell delves into the fascinating, mysterious, and sometimes downright bizarre lives of reptiles, including spectacular snakes, lizards, crocodiles, bearded dragons, turtles, and tortoises.
