Not A Monster Av Claudia Guadalupe Martinez, Laura Gonzalez

<b>With Spanish vocabulary and a clever color concept, this poetic picture book shares the life cycle of beloved amphibian—the axolotl—in its natural habitat.</b><br><br>An axolotl may look like one, but it is certainly <i>Not a Monster</i>. This curious creature, made popular by Minecraft, is actually a salamander that will never lose its gills or fins. <i>Not a Monster</i> explores the traits of the axolotl, the Aztec origin myth about the species, and the way pollution is affecting its natural habitat: the canals of Xochimilco in Mexico City. <br><br>Fun and engaging, this playful and informative read-aloud introduces curious readers on one cool character who is NOT a monster!
