Summary

"All reptiles can move! But how do these animals actually go from place to place? Some lizards can walk on all fours or run on their back legs. Snakes can slither on their bellies. Turtles can paddle in water using their flippers. Crocodiles can do a belly crawl on land. Which animal do you think would win in a race? Look inside to discover which of the ten reptiles in this book are super slow and which ones are really fast!"
