Children's Literature
Since kids have a fascination with snakes, there is always room for one more snake book on the library shelf. This title covers the basics of snakes in a well-organized format with interesting text appropriate for developing readers. Some nice text-to-self comparisons throughout include the fact that you could swallow a watermelon whole if your mouth and body were built like a snake. The full-color photographs from the annals of the Wildlife Conservation Society steal the show with interesting shots of a variety of snakes and a great skin-shedding close-up. The book finishes with a little lecture on how snakes contribute to our world and how we as humans need to be caretakers of these animals and their environments—always an important message for young (and all) readers.
