Spanish language edition! The axolotl is not a monster at all. It’s a salamander that will never lose its gills or fins!

A fun and engaging nonfiction picture book for kids ages 3-7 that features the life cycle of this popular amphibian and a clever color concept.

An axolotl may look like one, but it is certainly not a monster. This curious creature, made popular by Minecraft, is actually a salamander that will never lose its gills or fins.

Not a Monster explores the traits of the axolotl, the Aztec origin myth about the species, and the way pollution is affecting its natural habitat: the canals of Xochimilco in Mexico City. 

Perfect for preschoolers and pre-readers, this playful and informative read-aloud introduces curious kids to one cool character who is NOT a monster!
