Table of ContentsReviews"""Rainforests play host to creatures of all shapes and sizes, and iguanas are some of the many animals who call the rainforest home. In this book, very young readers are introduced to iguanas and their more obvious visual and behavioral qualities. From the spines on their backs to the dewlap beneath their chin, from defensive techniques to how they protect their eggs, this text offers tangible information about iguanas that is presented in an accessible way. Very few words are used throughout the book, and these words are incorporated into short, direct sentences that appear in condensed groups on each spread. There is frequent repetition within the book, as well, which helps both young children and emerging readers to connect with this more scientific, nonfiction text. At the beginning of the book, readers are invited to go on a scavenger hunt throughout the pages to find four specific images that correspond to new vocabulary introduced within the text. At the end, the solutions are provided to support readers' learning and ensure they have made the appropriate observations. Bright colors and vivid, detailed photographs make the iguana come to life and step off the page into readers' minds. These images are the primary focus of each spread, and the text supports what readers are observing with their eyes. Additionally, both the text itself and featured new vocabulary are set into shapes of different colors to draw attention to them and away from the corresponding picture. Part of the Spot Rainforest Animals series, this book is an excellent introduction to the nonfiction genre for very young readers. It is a positive addition to library collections for young children.
