In Animal Planet's Chapter Book SNAKES!, Author, James Buckley, Jr. introduces readers
to the diverse world of snakes beginning with a basic look at the anatomy and
characteristics that differentiate these animals from other reptiles.
The eleven chapters divide focus between
general knowledge and the examination of specific types of snakes. How snakes
move, attack and defense, foods, life cycles, and senses compare and contrast
the ways in which diverse types of snakes function. Additional chapters
concentrate on some of the most interesting, abundant, weird, or deadly groups
of snakes such as rattlesnakes, boas and pythons, garter snakes, and the
elapids which include cobras, kraits, and mambas.
Colorful, detailed photographs enrich the text
and provide visual interest. Fang Facts identify snake body parts, and discuss
the value of snakes in the ecosystem. Double-page FACT FILES, highlight some of the
United States’ most venomous snakes, details such as food choices that range
from termite larvae to birds and mammals, identifies various types of vipers,
and discusses habitats. Colored text boxes define terms,
and offer extra details.
A fun resource for home or school.
