It's a pictorial identification guide and husbandry manual covering more than 250 species, subspecies, and color morphs.

"This photo-illustrated book for early readers tells the story of a rain forest iguana searching for food and escaping a hawk"--

"Describes chameleons, including what they look like, where they live, why they change color, how they reproduce, and how they fit in the world"--

This book will be of special value to parents of younger kids who are keeping hamsters, to older children who can read the book on their own, and to adults who keep hamsters as a hobby. The author explains everything hamster owners need to know about the animal's life cycle, traits, breeding, feeding, caging, treating health problems--and simply keeping hamsters happy with appropriate toys and exercise accessories.--From publisher description.
