Miles and Miles of Reptiles (Rabe Tish); HarperCollins Publishers, 2009

There are thousands of reptiles.

I’ll show some to you.

Your mother will not

mind at all if I do.

Join the Cat in the Hat as he introduces beginning readers to reptiles.

This title and others form part of a series of books that takes an off-beat look at nature and natural sciences through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations. Aimed at early readers – from four to seven year olds – the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles that require fluent reading skills. By presenting the facts in a lively and rhythmic manner, they provide the critical foundation upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built.
