Wild Reptiles: Snakes, Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles (Wild Kratts) (Step into Reading) Paperback – Picture Book, January 6, 2015

My son is learning how to read, and this book came in very handy. We both enjoy watching the show, so having one of the books was spot on. It's an easy read, with a few challenging words for learning, and it's educational. Gotta love that.

My five-year old grandson is obsessed with the Wild Kratts. While he remembers everything he hears on the show and does not hesitate to share his knowledge, learning to read is a different story. He loves being read to, but he does not want to read to us. I had high hopes that “Wild Kratts Wild Reptiles: Snakes, Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles!” would help break down his resolve not to let us know his reading level and not to read aloud.The text of this book is interesting and informative. Both the rattlesnake and the crocodile have four pages of text devoted to each particular reptile. The draco and basilisk lizards and gila monster each receive two pages of text. Next, the rock python and gecko are presented; finally, there is a broad overview of the topics turtles and alligators, The print is large and easy to see; there is not so much text that it overwhelms a child reading the book. The illustrations look much like the animation from the “Wild Kratts” television show.“Wild Kratts Wild Reptiles: Snakes Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles!” is an excellent book with which to encourage young readers. My grandson has been willing to try reading this book aloud. It features some of his favorite PBS characters; it is short, but not too short; and, Martin and Chris “Activate Creature Power”! However, this is not a book meant to provide detailed zoological information and more complete overviews of these reptiles, their habits, and habitats. For the purpose of encouraging reading in those children who are Wild Kratt fans and reluctant to read, “Wild Kratts Wild Reptiles: Snakes Crocodiles, Lizards, and Turtles!” is an outstanding choice.

Who doesn’t like Wild Kratts*? My son has been a fan for a long time and this book fits the bill, as it is both interesting to him and educational. It is a science reader, and because it is Wild Kratts it combines fiction (the power suits) with non-fiction (animal facts).This is a level 2 reader, but it is an advanced level 2 reader. It is an advanced level 2 due to content and length. For example, younger early readers would do better with one of the Paw Patrol level 2 readers first – which has much simpler language. This reader is longer and has more advanced words like “structures”, “rattlesnake”, “poisonous”, “savannah”, “warthogs” and so on. It is also 32 pages of text. It is a challenge for an child that can read some of the simpler readers alone already. This book is best either for an older new reader, or a fan of Wild Kratts. And of course, it can be a read-aloud. It is full of interesting facts for the parents too.They do a good job with the pictures. The cartoons included are exactly like those in the show and there are plenty of illustrations. Excellent to help the children see the animals, make observations and be able to understand the text more fully.In my opinion, this is an excellent book and a great addition to any kid library.*Just in case you do not know who the Will Kratts are here is a little background. This is a show that can be found on PBS about two brothers who investigate animal powers and use the powers to create power suits. They believe wild animals should live free and in the wild. It has excellent content.

My son loves Wild Kratts and this has all.his favorite animals in one book that's easy for him to read

My kids love Wild Kratts and reptiles, so this book is perfect. The book has facts about several reptiles and is a great length for our pre-bedtime reading. This isn't a storybook.

We enjoy the Wild Kratts shows but it's nice to turn the TV off and feel like you're taking your kids on an adventure while reading. This book is especially fun for the kiddos who love reptiles!

Kids love Wild Kratts. This encourages my 3 year old to want to read. For the writing, I like the "non-fiction" aspects of it. For the book quality, standard for the beginner reading books.

My kid loves wild Kratts. Cute book
