I recently had the pleasure of reading Life of  Komodo Dragon. This e book is 31 pages and in my opinion is probably an upper elementary reading level, but could be enjoyed by anyone interested in learning more about these strange creatures.

Here are some of the things I liked about this book. First, it is told in a story format. The story follows a Komodo dragon from birth for several years until she lays her own eggs. This makes the story very easy to read and enjoyable. Second, terms that are new and unfamiliar are internet linked to other sites so you can find out even more information as you read. The pictures in this book are great. Some are a little graphic, but nothing worse that what you would see on a National Geographic/ Animal Kingdom sort of show. Plus, that is their life, she doesn't try and sanitize the reality of nature, and in my opinion that is a good thing.

Finally, my favorite part of this book, and I don't know if it was intentional, is the fact that there are no evolutionary references in this book. So many times when I try to read books to my kids about reptiles the book starts with "millions of years ago....." Since we don't believe in millions of years, this is always a distraction when reading.

This book makes no mention of evolution or creation.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about the Komodo dragon. 

I am going to have my 12 year old daughter post a review soon....

As soon as I can think of some kind of contest to have I will be giving away a free copy of this great book!
