Synopsis
The rain forest is home to some of the world's biggest snakes. The huge anaconda hunts in pools and streams. It springs from the water to squeeze the life out of its unlucky prey!
Slither inside Snakes/Serpientes to learn more about these super-size swimmers and their rain forest relatives.
Children's Literature
They wriggle on their bellies, have a super long tongue, and weigh more than you, your brother, and your parents combined: they are Anacondas, and what fascinating reptiles they are. Learn about these prey-squeezing snakes who live in the rain forest along with other of their slippery friends in this book, a part of the "Animals That Live in the Rain Forest" series. Short, simple sentences present introductory level knowledge, such as identifying features, habitat, and eating habits of these warm weather loving snakes. Accompanying the easy-to-read text are bright color photographs of the snakes in their natural habitats, pleasing to the eye and very inviting. The brief glossary in the back provides definitions for a few less common words, and suggestions are given for further reading and web surfing on the subject for the child whose interest is sparked. Great for use in an early elementary classroom to encourage a more focused look at the individual animals in the Rain Forest. Reviewer: Carly Reagan
