What makes a gecko different from a salamander? In Amazing Animal Adventures, kids meet a new group of animals each week, from reptiles and birds to mammals, ocean life and invertebrates, with an environmental educator who is often joined by her own corn snake, tiger salamander and leopard gecko. Along the way, they learn how scientists study animals. By the end, your child can explain how an animal's body and habits help it survive where it lives. Perfect for animal lovers who can name more reptiles than relatives; drop in any week.
