Grade 4-6--Snakes are at their most beguiling in this
beautifully photographed, well-organized introduction. The text
succinctly describes their general physical and behavioral
characteristics, and identifies the four major snake families.

Many people see snakes as gross and slimy, but snakes are
actually one of the most fascinating reptiles on the planet. They
have beautifully patterned skin, flexible bodies, internal ears,
and the ability to swallow prey larger than their own heads! Learn
more about these misunderstood and interesting creatures in this
updated edition from Seymour Simon and the Smithsonian
