Snakes! by John Yost

It is an ideal tool for sparking curiosity in children who already love reptiles—and even those who might still be a little unsure about them!

Author John Yost pairs easy-to-read text with high-quality, full-color photographs of snakes in their natural habitats. Instead of overwhelming kids with dense paragraphs, the book focuses on fascinating, bite-sized facts about anatomy, senses, and hunting habits. It allows young readers to have those exciting "I knew that!" moments while also expanding their vocabulary.
