What Do You Think about Reptiles?: Decide for Yourself
$13.95
Kids are used to being told WHAT to think, but in this digital age, it is more important than ever for kids to learn to think for themselves! This fun and informative nonfiction book encourages students to think critically while exploring the fascinating world of reptiles.
Readers explore two opposing viewpoints on alligators, turtles, snakes, lizards, and tortoises. Do alligators make good parents? Do turtles need their shells? Are snakes truly dangerous? Are lizards pests? Do tortoises make good pets? Each animal is presented with contrasting perspectives, supported by facts that reveal how authors can twist information to fit their purpose. Through engaging text, eye-catching visuals, and fun examples, readers are introduced to point of view, persuasive language, author bias, fact and opinion, and the importance of questioning what they read.
Perfect for 3rd-6th grade classrooms, animal lovers, or budding zoologists, this book is an unforgettable way to explore wildlife, animal facts, and different perspectives in the animal kingdom while empowering kids to take charge of their own thinking. What do You Think About Reptiles? Is not just about nature and animals – it’s about getting to decide for yourself what you believe!

Unprecedented and Refreshing!
[...]My animal-loving son enjoyed this book, and as a homeschooling parent I was so pleased to share it with him. It sparked a wonderful conversation in which we discussed our own opinions about reptiles based on the facts found in the book. I’m so happy to see a book that trusts kids to come to their own conclusions and encourages them to think critically about the way in which facts are being presented to them.

Great springboard to discuss with grands!
[...]I really enjoyed reading this book tonight and can’t wait to discuss it with my 9 & 12 year old grandsons after they’ve had a chance to read it. We are a reptile household & currently have 2 lizards and a snake as pets. No tortoises or alligators though! Great job, Kalena
