Loco for Lizards explores the popularity of lizards in film, music, art, and even ad campaigns. Budweiser's eloquently animated chameleons, Frank and Louie, have charmed viewers from coast to coast, and Godzilla has captured multiple generations of film watchers.

From the Author:

Loco for Lizards exposes their sneaky crawl into culture
Loco for Lizards is intended for grown-ups - it contains factual basics about the creatures themselves, as well as tongue-in-cheek bits like the world's first interview with a gecko, a tabloid spread sensationalizing some of their spectacular attributes, details of their presence in movies, songs, myths, and American Indian legends; incorporates copius colorful graphics, and does it all in 56 pages, for the price of an order of fish & chips! Clearly a stand-alone original, if i say so myself.
