They will also learn basic information about where geckos live, what they eat, and all about their peculiar bodies and behaviors.

Booklist Review for Gecko

With a name like Weird but Cute, how can this series fail to draw a crowd? Geared toward early readers, each volume introduces an unusual animal through simple text and plentiful color photos. Although each title gives youngsters a clear idea of the animal’s appearance or noteworthy characteristics, some also include information on diet and habitat. Bright colors and sticky toes mark the pages of Gecko, where readers get to see these sprightly lizards munching on insects and regrowing their tails. Each book provides a depiction of comparative size—for example, a dwarf gecko is the size of a dime—to help readers visualize the featured creature. A picture glossary and index conclude, making this series a pleasing introduction to quirky animals and the nonfiction format.
