Lizzy, the Lake Powell Lizard Diane Melton

In this delightfully entertaining and educational children's book, Lizzy, an oversized hungry lizard, is hatched one day in Lake Powell. Lizzy learns to swim and follows the houseboats, eagerly eating all the garbage tossed off them. She gets very sick from ingesting Styrofoam cups and other debris, and must be towed to the Lake Powell doctor. When the doctor realizes what happened to Lizzy, signs are posted at Lake Powell to remind boaters to not pollute! Lizzy recovers and embodies an important message about the environment for all who enjoy the beauty of the lake. Diane Melton lives in Salt Lake City. Her next book is The House Slipper Patrol, a story about night terrors, featuring a little boy who goes to his closet every night and picks out a pair of slippers to place under his bed to keep bad dreams away. Ms. Melton loves to write stories for children that address different issues and problems that we all face.
