Checkerboard Library: Real Monsters series.
After a somewhat lurid introduction, eight brief chapters provide overviews of the featured lizard's appearance, behavior, diet, habitat, and reproductive cycle as well as threats to its survival. High-quality stock photos accompany the accessible texts. Despite their sensationalized titles and pulp fiction–style design, the books actually address the misunderstood animals' "monstrous" reputations and advocate for their conservation. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard Library: Real Monsters titles: Gila Monster and Komodo Dragon.
