Description
Book Synopsis
The axolotl is not a monster at all. It's a salamander that will never lose its gills or fins! Now in paperback! A fun and engaging nonfiction picture book for kids ages 3-7 that includes Spanish vocabulary, a color concept, and life cycle of this popular amphibian. An axolotl may look like one, but it is certainly not a monster. This curious creature, made popular by Minecraft, is actually a salamander that will never lose its gills or fins. Not a Monster explores the traits of the axolotl, the Aztec origin myth about the species, and the way pollution is affecting its natural habitat: the canals of Xochimilco in Mexico City. Perfect for preschoolers and pre-readers, this charming and informative read-aloud introduces curious kids to one unique animal that is NOT a monster!About the Author
