A handsome DVD accompanies Jim Arnosky's newest book about crocodiles. His illustrations take readers to the Florida mangroves where crocodiles live with so many other wild creatures. It's a safari adventure as this gifted artist and naturalist explains the difference between alligators and crocs found deep in the Everglades. Good as the book is, the DVD that comes with it is more than just good footage! It includes Arnosky doing a drawing of the setting from simple lines to shading that gets better with each moment.
