Engaging and Informative, but Short on Depth

Spitting Cobras by Emily Rose Oachs is a fascinating introduction to these unique snakes, perfect for young readers or anyone looking for a quick dive into the topic. The book does a great job explaining how spitting cobras defend themselves, their habitats, and other interesting facts. The vivid images and simple language make it an engaging read, especially for kids who love animals.

However, the book is quite brief and doesn’t go into much depth, which might leave older readers or those looking for a more detailed scientific exploration wanting more. It’s a solid choice for elementary-age children or anyone new to the topic, but more advanced readers may find it too basic.

Overall, a fun and informative book for younger audiences!
