For fans of Ada Twist: Scientist comes a fascinating picture book biography of a pioneering female scientist--who loved reptiles

Back in the days of long skirts and afternoon teas, young Joan Procter entertained the most unusual party guests: slithery and scaly ones, who turned over teacups and crawled past the crumpets.... While other girls played with dolls, Joan preferred the company of reptiles. She carried her favorite lizard with her everywhere--she even brought a crocodile to school

When Joan grew older, she became the Curator of Reptiles at the British Museum. She went on to design the Reptile House at the London Zoo, including a home for the rumored-to-be-vicious komodo dragons. There, just like when she was a little girl, Joan hosted children's tea parties--with her komodo dragon as the guest of honor.

With a lively text and vibrant illustrations, scientist and writer Patricia Valdez and illustrator Felicita Sala bring to life Joan Procter's inspiring story of passion and determination.

Nice CK Wallet!

Next-day shipping is fantastic! The wallet is a soft, comfortable, and perfectly sized wallet that fits snugly in my pant pocket. It can hold up to nine cards and an ID, along with two cash compartments. The wallet functions seamlessly without any issues.

Wallet
Pretty nice wallet, good quality and little small if you have a lot of cards or cash, unfortunately there isn’t a I’d holder where it flips down so you have to dig it out of your pocket.

Sleek, Stylish, and Functional
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Neon Yellow
I recently purchased this Calvin Klein wallet, and it absolutely lives up to the brand's reputation for quality and style. The leather is smooth, soft, and has a clean, professional finish. You can tell it’s made from quality materials. Fits easily in my pocket without being bulky, even with multiple cards and some cash. Plenty of card slots, a clear ID window, and a well-designed bill compartment. Everything is easy to access. The CK logo is subtle but classy—not too flashy, just the right touch of elegance.
