The American Crocodile (book report by Michael)

     Michael just wrote his first book report and it was no surprise to us that he picked a non-fiction book about an animal!

     I read The American Crocodile by Glenn Scherer and Marty Fletcher. It has 128 pages, took place in Florida, and the main character is a crocodile. 
     Crocodiles are in the lizard family. They can be 20 feet long and jump 5 feet out of the water. They eat anything that fits into their mouth except for turtle shells. An adult can go 2 years without food. Some have 100 teeth. 
     Crocodiles live in swampy areas in Florida, South and Central America. They are near the top of the food chain.
     I liked this book because of the cool pictures and facts.
