Snakes Books

Hissssss! Watch out for that snake! This book takes adventurous readers on a quest into the world of the diamondback rattlesnake. Students will discover a slithery way of life as they learn about the diamondback’s impressive size, fearsome fangs, and special senses such as its eyes that never stop staring. Full-color photos give kids an opportunity to identify these poisonous reptiles by their beautiful scale colors and patterns. Readers will also observe how tail-rattling diamondbacks use their natural camouflage to disappear from sight! A range map supplements chapter information about the surprising places these pit vipers live. Bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index compliment the chapter text.
