From Bestselling Author Matthew Taylor. Snakes - they silently slink on the ground, slither from trees, and swim in the deep. To many of us they are scary creatures and symbols of evil like the Slytherin house in Harry Potter and Lord Voldermort's pet snake Nagini. But most snakes won't harm humans and are actually good for our planet.
This book lets kids see snakes as they really are. Not scary or bad, just a different type of creature sharing our planet. With 25 large color photographs and easy to read words SNAKES ALIVE! teaches children of all ages about the unique world of snakes.
In this book you'll discover:
- How snakes are born
- What their bodies are like (no ears, no eyelids)
- How they grow
- What and how they eat
- Where they live
- How they handle cold
- How they help our planet
- And many other cool facts
The photos look great on any Kindle device or electronic app. Snakes Alive! has been kid tested. If your kids are curious about snakes - they'll love this book!
Here's what Amazon Top 10 Reviewer J. Chambers had to say about Snakes!
"I'm not scared of snakes, but I'm not completely comfortable with them either. Nevertheless, every year I accompany my reptile-loving wife to the local Repticon show to make sure she doesn't bankrupt us by buying several expensive snakes.
In any case, Matthew Taylor's short book is a much less expensive introduction to the fascinating world of snakes. The book includes a representative sample of snakes from the tiny brahiminy blind snake to the giant anaconda. Some snakes give live birth, although most species lay eggs. There's a description of snake biology, what snakes eat, and how they digest their meals. Snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, where it's too cold for them to survive. In colder areas where snakes do live, they survive winters by "brumating," a process analogous to hibernating. The book concludes with some interesting miscellaneous facts about snakes.
I think both youngsters and their parents will enjoy this introduction to snakes. It's a basic primer intended give a brief overview of snakes without getting very technical or going into too much detail. The color photographs are very helpful, and some of them are really cool, like the one of a heron eating a green snake."
