EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Anoles are in virtually every Florida yard, yet few people know much about them. They're mistakenly called chameleons, geckos or skinks. Learn where they came from, where they live, how they establish and defend territories, what they eat, what eats them, why they change color, how they climb up smooth surfaces, how they mate and bear young, and much more. This book is a fantasy based on fact. Ann and Noel are lizards that communicate with a human. Say their names rapidly in succession and you get ... anole. This is a book with an important message, too: How Floridians can help save the native green anole while promoting desirable plant growth.

Not just a children's book  
I received this book as a gift and thought is was a children's book but discovered that it was full of great descriptions and solid biology. I have always been a big fan of the Anole and was delighted to finally have book with all the details I could wish for. I highly recommend it to anyone regardless of age.

Everything I'd always wanted to know about Anoles!  
After living in Florida and around those yard lizards for several decades, I've found a great reference book with delicate illustrations which supplies me with the information no one else seems to provide. This should be mandatory reading for residents of the state; after all, our yards are teeming with a world unexplored. Now I know about the secret lives of anoles and am better able to preserve their habitat.

Great information and Fun for 4th grade and up.  
Now this is a book your grandkids can enjoy while visiting you in Florida. We see Anoles every day and the kids always want to know more about them. Put this book in their hands or ead it to them. they will enoy it.
