There are many kinds of monitor lizards, but perhaps the best known is the biggest lizard on Earth--the Komodo dragon! Monitors have heavy bodies and long tails, and eat a variety of food, from water buffalo to fruit! In this book, readers learn all about the monitor lizard group including where they live, how they catch prey, and what lizard families are like. The low-ATOS text pairs closely with full-color photographs to aid reading comprehension for beginning readers.
