About this deal

Reviewers say this book is excellent for anyone needing to research snakes for their own writing or research papers as well as those fascinated by function.

Below are two honorable mentions that specialize in a niche topic. Honorable Mention #1: The Ultimate Ball Python: Morph Maker Guide Snakes terrify many people. Children seem to find them more entertaining and are less scared of these critters than most adults. But as you get to know them, you’ll discover that snakes are solitary, quiet individuals who only desire a cool, shaded area to live in.

Striking a Balance: Fun and Educational Value This book covers all 137 species of snakes in Africa, and as well as covering the dangerous ones, this book includes 70 species that are often confused with the venomous species.

Pros and Cons of Boas and Pythons of the World by Mark O’Shea Pros Our favorite thing in this book had to be the information on the Titanoboa, a 50-foot-long prehistoric snake. Children will want to refer to this book often because it is filled with amazing illustrations, entertaining activities and quizzes, and startling information about anatomy, diet, and personality. This book is dripping with facts, natural history, gorgeous photography, and artwork and includes information on over 3,000 species of snakes, with 60 in-depth snake profiles.

Everything You Need to Know About SnakesbyJohn Woodward The Book of Snakes starts out explaining the history and evolution of serpents, moves into classifications and scientific names (including reference charts) and then discusses what makes a snake a snake, their habits, defenses, and reproduction. The fun in this book comes from Steen answering questions you didn’t know had an answer or never thought to ask! Lighthearted, anecdotal, and conversational, this text may not be the first book you gravitate toward to when you are looking for info on snakes. However, it is a text you do not want to miss out on…

Snakes have a bad reputation in many parts of the world. Something about their legless slithering is more than a little creepy if you’re not into reptiles.

Until Ali visits one of her aunts, Ali’s family finds it difficult to comprehend her obsession.
