About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-5. A handsome offering. Large, dramatic watercolors in rich tones of golden brown, sun-washed greens, and veiled blues accompany a very readable text. Chock-full of data for curious and investigative minds, the book includes a plea for the protection of these highly evolved predators and precautions for those living in rattlesnake country. Smaller inserts present close-ups of rattler anatomy, and each one is paired with an informative caption. The clear organization and the careful correlation of the vivid artwork make the material easily accessible. From the striking dust jacket to the vibrant endpapers, All About Rattlesnakes is a fine nonfiction resource, an excellent science read, and a pleasure to the eye.?Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
