Who Lives in an Alligator Hole? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780064452007)

Read and find out about aligators in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

Scientists consider alligators a "keystone species"--the most important animal in their habitat. Without the alligator, many animals dependent on the gator would become extinct. Read and find out about how alligators are much more than big jaws and sharp teeth!

This clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom, gives interesting information about American alligators while highlighting how they became an endangered species and what is being done to preserve them and their habitat.
