Did you know that there are more than 2,500 different kinds of snakes slithering throughout the world? Although they have many characteristics in common, they can range in patterns and sizes from the two-inch-long thread snake, as skinny as a strand of spaghetti, to the thirty-two-foot reticulated python that is big enough to eat a pig or a small child! Dorothy Hinshaw Patent and Kendahl Jan Jubb combine their talents and knowledge in this scientifically accurate and beautifully illustrated book snake lovers won't be able to resist.
"The sinuous bodies of snakes are highlighted in vivid paintings that dominate every page of this introductory title .... The book is clearly written and well organized .... The paintings are realistically rendered .... Young herpetologists should find [it] very satisfying."-- School Library Journal
"Striking graphics and a spare, readable text will have young readers snatching up this snake book by this prolific and talented science writer. Without any wasted words, she describes how ... snakes hunt, hide, eat, reproduce, and move."-- Kirkus Reviews
Dorothy Hinshaw Patent has written more than 100 books for young readers, including Walker & Company's Homesteading and West by Covered Wagon, which received a starred review in School Library Journal.
Kendahl Jan Jubb is the illustrator of Bold and Bright Black-and-White Animals and Flashy Fantastic Rain Forest Frogs, both by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent.
They both live in Missoula, Montana.
