From Booklist:

K-Gr. 2. From the I Can Read Book series, this colorful volume, created in cooperation with the Wildlife Conservation Society, discusses the physical characteristics and typical behaviors of snakes as well as their place in the world. Simply written but precise, the text covers basic information succinctly. Thomson offers a particularly memorable image when she informs children that if their mouths and bodies were like a snake's, they "could swallow a watermelon." Clear, colorful, well-focused photos offer close-up views of snakes in action. Short and informative, for independent reading or for sharing with younger children. Carolyn Phelan
