Buckingham, S. (2009). Meet the bearded dragon. New York, NY: Rosen Publishing Group.
This book does a very good job of informing the reader about bearded dragons, otherwise known as "beardies", which comes from the sharp spikes under its chin that resembles a beard. The book informs the reader on how the bearded dragon defends its self, types of bearded dragons, where bearded dragons can be found, where these animals make their homes, diet, predators, and mating habits. The key words in the text are highlighted and the words are defined in a glossary at the end of the book. The text gives a very clear definition of why an animal is cold blooded. The captions that are included on each of the pages provide very specific information to the reader about the picture. I would recommend this book to students who are doing a book report on this animal.
