review 1: I love this book. Information within What to Expect When You're Expecting Hatchlings is a parody of the famous What to Expect When You're Expecting series of books for human mommies and daddies. This book focuses on the crocodilian family. Alligators have the opportunity to ask the experts all kinds of questions about having their hatchlings and get expert answer. They learn how to safely lay their eggs and how to care for them once they hatch. They also learn about the stages of development of the unhatched reptile through drawings of the inside of the eggs. Kids will be excited to learn all of this information, as well.It also includes a glossary at the end of the book, as well as resources both in print and online for further information. I can see kids eager to learn e... moreven more.I received a complimentary copy of this galley in exchange for my honest review.
review 2: In this follow-up book to last year's What to Expect When You're Expecting Larvae, readers learn about the life cycle of crocodilians (crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials). Cute illustrations (yes, crocodiles can be cute), and the clever Q and A format create an engaging book that provides extensive scientific information about the habitats, behaviors, and anatomy of these ancient reptiles. Includes a glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading and research in the back. less
