National Geographic Readers: Alligators and Crocodiles

Alligators and Crocodiles In this book, there are 32 pages of facts about alligators and crocodiles. There were good facts about how alligators and crocodiles are different. I learned that bumpy plates covered their bodies. I thought it was cool that some of the mother crocodilians dig holes for a nest and will carry their babies in their mouths to the water. I think the babies are sure when they hatch. I also learned that alligator teeth are hollow, and that crocodilians can ROAR like a lion! The largest crocodilian was the saltwater crocodile, which can be over 20 feet long and weigh 2200 pounds.

I like this book because I like alligators and crocodiles. It tells me lot about them. The pictures are amazing because you can really see different features of crocodilians. My favorite picture is one of a man giving meat to a crocodilian. I wouldn’t ever want to feed one, though!
