This was HARD!! Please drop any recs you have
your @ being lizzyy just makes this list more perfect 🦎🦎🦎
Maybe Venomous by Christie Wilcox? It’s not just reptile and amphibians but they play a starring role!
lizzyyOP
Thank you!!
Dinosaurs are reptiles, right?

well now that i think about it, weren't they more closely related to birds?? are we entering controversial topic territory
Also, that's an interestingly raised eyebrow!
Okay, some peer-reviewed academic content 🙂
"Reptiles include four main lineages: (1) turtles, (2) lizards and snakes, (3) crocodilians, and (4) dinosaurs, including birds. Indeed, birds are reptiles – birds are a surviving lineage descended from bipedal predatory dinosaurs!"

not an academic article! I love it!! This is iconic, you are iconic. There were so many fun scientific articles I wish I could have added to the list lol but not enough books):

yesss! I'm planning on adding some dinosaur books tomorrow, my brain is fried from all the list curation
Oh my god, a book about frogs 😍 I had been meaning to find one that was good for a layman like me. Great list!

Thank you!! Frogs are cutie pies, they need more nonfic books about them
This title is everything
