Meet the gecko.
Huber writes text in two levels for a young student to enjoy. Lovelock’s illustrations draw the eye around the page in a celebration of the small critter. I could see a kindergartener or first grader using this as the basis of a short report. A class of older students could use the book as a pattern to write and illustrate their own creature’s story.
