The Phenomenal Axolotl: A Chapter Book for Young Explorers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249305710)

What animal has a permanent smile, never blinks, and can grow back a lost leg in just eight weeks?

Meet the axolotl - one of the most phenomenal animals on Earth!

In The Phenomenal Axolotl, young readers will dive into the ancient canals of Mexico City to discover a tiny salamander with incredible superpowers. This amazing creature has feathery gills that look like a crown, a vacuum-powered mouth that sucks in food whole, and the ability to regrow lost body parts without leaving a single scar.

Inside this book, readers will learn:
- How the axolotl regrows lost legs, repairs its heart, and even fixes parts of its brain and spinal cord
- Why the axolotl never grows up and keeps its baby features for its entire life
- How scientists created axolotls that glow green under ultraviolet light
- The legend of the Aztec god Xolotl, who transformed into a salamander to escape sacrifice
- How there are millions of axolotls in captivity but fewer than one thousand left in the wild

Packed with fun facts, a glossary, quiz questions, and hands-on activities, this chapter book makes learning about axolotls an adventure.

Written at a second-grade reading level. Perfect for young readers ages 7-9.

Book 13 in the Chapter Books for Young Explorers series.
