An illustrated first guide to cute axolotls from expert Dr. Jessica LaMae Whited, featuring illustrations by Bethany Lord.
You might know that axolotls are some of the most adorable animals around, but there's so much more to learn about these incredible creatures from Mexico! Discover why axolotls never grow up, how they come in such cool colors, and how they can regrow missing limbs! You'll also discover what it takes to become an axolotl scientist. Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also looks at the conservation challenges these iconic animals face. Axolotl (Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting series of collectable animal books from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and conservationists."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love--written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.
Dr. Jessica L. Whited is a biologist and assistant professor at Harvard University. Her lab investigates how axolotls regenerate limbs.

Her scientific career was sparked by exploring woods and fields as a child. Jessica loves axolotls because they hold so many mysteries.
