Pebble Books: Pebble First Guides series.
This compact title is set up like a field guide. Each spread focuses on one type of lizard, from tiny anoles to massive monitor lizards like the Komodo dragon, and includes a chart indicating size, food, habitat, and three bulleted facts. Close-up photographs and world maps illustrate the information, which is limited but may be useful for comparison among lizard types. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Pebble Books: Pebble First Guides series.
This compact title for early readers is set up like a field guide. Each spread focuses on one type of horse, from American paint horses to thoroughbreds, and includes a chart indicating size, appearance, home, "uses," and two bulleted facts. Clear photographs effectively illustrate the information, which is very limited but can be used for comparison among types of horses. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Pebble Books: Pebble First Guides series.
Each of thirteen double-page spreads provides a short list of stats describing one species, including wingspan, adult food, caterpillar food, habitat, range, and two additional facts. The bare-bones entries also include a photo of a fully-grown butterfly, a caterpillar photo, and a range map. A very general introduction, this book can be useful for comparisons among butterflies. Reading list. Glos., ind.
