When we first saw the cover of this Download N Go study, we thought the colors were unnatural. We’ve seen brightly colored birds, but no other kind of animal really looks like this. This picture has been ‘doctored’, hasn’t it? Don’t all geckos look like the one in that commercial? We have many little lizards around our home, and thought this looked like it could be one. But a gecko is not just another lizard. To find out what makes a gecko different from others in the lizard family you will have to buy this Download N Go study. It can be found here, or as part of a bundle.
All of the Download N Go studies feature printable pages to make a lapbook or keep a notebook devoted to the topic at hand. Goofy Gecko is no different.
