The Lizard Man of Crabtree County by Lucy Nolan

We actually got the book, not the movie shown here. 

A boy goes out exploring, and gets home to find out one of his neighbors has seen a "lizard man."  He goes out exploring on different days, and always winds up missing the lizard man, but get home to hear more reports about them where ever he's been.  Great for discussing how things are not always what they seem, and that things that look one way can really be another.  Pictures illustrate where the "lizard man" was all along.
