Recommended by Sophia Brinkley....
This book was recommended to me by a random GR reader whom didn't have any ties that I could see of to the author and so as a result I chose when I had the resources to give this book a shot. At first the book was a bit confusing to me since Scales the bearded dragon who appears in this book uses they/them pronouns thus making me think somehow this particular lizard was being made into a nonbinary character, especially as there is a chapter titled Is Scales A Boy or A Girl?. As a result some adults may not want their child reading this book for this particular reason.
But there is also a somewhat interesting phenomena going on with Scales thus leading to an interesting conversation if you would about genetics as Scales is what is known as a sex-reversed female or a chromosomal male bearded dragon whose gender was flipped since his (and yes there are places in the book where the author doesn't use the they/them pronouns but instead he/him) brooding location was too warm. And all of this is basically explained in the book even down to the correct mention of bearded dragon chromosomes and the how.
Otherwise the book itself is made up of adventures with one adventure per chapter while mostly just lasting about two pages. At the same time the book can be read one of two different ways since after the chapter is done there is a nice little summary of the chapter in poem format so if you are in an even bigger rush to get through this book you can skip the actual chapter and read the poem instead although you won't get as much details as you would with the actual reading of the book.
The illustrations for this book are rather interesting in their own regards since some of the artwork looks to be actual photographs, others seem to be artwork of some sort like water painting and others portray Scales as a cartoon lizard.
Another reason I put the Woke label on this book besides the question of Scales gender is there is a chapter in the end that is also devoted to climate change, which is rather lengthy in its own right but the answers are much more reasonable than normally are provided and not just one-sided.
Brief, full of nice lessons for kids of all ages and also somewhat thought-provoking, especially when talking about Aborigine beliefs as well as how to respect such locations like Uluru, this book will be an interesting read to include in your shelves.
