This is the second book I've read from this Author, the first being about Sharks.
This time she gives facts about snakes in such a way that Kids (and some adults) can easily understand.
I like the way the chapters are short enough not to get boring for the younger readers and the provision of photographs are great for keeping their attention as well.
As in the previous book, some unfamilair words are explained.
"A Great Learning Guide For Children About Snakes"
This is a very interesting, fact-filled guide to introduce children to the world of snakes. Whether you like snakes, or don't, it's important to learn about them as youngsters. They are part of our wildlife system and the author is very adept in pointing out their anatomy as compared to humans. They don't have arms or legs like humans, but their skin and muscles are similar. Their skin is covered in scales which aid them to push rapidly along the ground. The four types of movement are well described by the author. Some snakes can burrow into the ground, some swim in water, and some live in trees. There are currently nearly 2,700 species of snakes. They live and breath on Earth as we do. Learn about them here in this wonderful guide and when you see your first snake, respect it from a distance, and run and tell mom and dad to come look at the snake to confirm that it is harmless. Snakes are often thought of as villains, but in nature they do play an important role primarily in keeping agricultural pests under control such as rodents, termites, and other large bugs. This author writes very well, the guide is well edited and has interesting photographs of different types of snakes. This author has created a very stimulating series that not only helps youngsters learn, but also adults. She reveals many things that even most adults don't know about snakes. Check out, also, her guide about sharks. Highly recommend this educational series.
Snakes ~ Fun Facts & Amazing Photos of Animals in Nature is filled with beautiful photos and facts about snakes. Children in my classes over the years have a fascination with learning about snakes and learning about them. Although we have some snakes on our area, the most common two are poisonous. For safety we do not encourage children to pick up snakes; safety comes first so a book full of accurate facts and fabulous pictures is a great way to satisfy their desire to learn about snakes.
Snakes are one of those animals that are universally feared. But they are fascinating creatures as well.
Emma Child gives us a look at that world and discusses snakes, various types, what they eat, how they react when threatened, and what they do in the world that really helps everybody and everything.
Informative as usual, there's always something in her books that I didn't know about the subject animal.
As usual I received this book for free for the purposes of review; this time from the author directly. Despite this kindness I give my scrupulously honest opinion below.
In a nutshell and quite obviously, this is a very brief and very simple book about snakes. The content is appropriate for any age but only the very youngest readers will find this worthwhile. Book formatting runs along pretty simple lines with a picture at the top of each page and a paragraph of text under it.
On the positive side, the book is completely accessible. Even if your child has never seen a snake before in their lives this book will make sense. It assumes nothing about the potential reader and begins at the very beginning.
To the negative side, the pictures in this book are pretty tiny. Even on an larger HD Kindle they're hardly more than thumbnails. They look pretty high def but the way they're laid out in the book you practically have to put your nose on the screen before you can see much. Lastly, the writing is reasonably professional though it does have a tendency to interrupt itself in the middle of a sentence "wait, what?!" which might be confusing to newer readers.
In summary, this is a good little book to have around but it does have a few foibles. Despite that, you can't beat the price this week while it's free on Amazon. It'll certainly keep at least one child entertained for a few minutes while you cook dinner.
Could a snake win an Oscar for "Best Actor"? Recently I walked out to get my newspaper and there was a dead garter snake in my driveway. It wasn't crushed or bleeding and I assumed it had fallen from a tree. I walked past it, got the paper, and when I turned around, the "dead" snake was nowhere to be seen. It was great acting!
Snakes have developed many adaptations, as Ms. Child points out. They're cold-blooded and can't survive in extremely cold climates, but they live in a wide variety of environments and eat a wide variety of foods. Some are venomous; most are not. A few species are aggressive, but most species avoid humans when possible. Some species are endangered and some have been introduced into areas where they have no natural enemies and present an ecological problem. Although they're not warm and fuzzy, snakes are valuable to humans. Biologists believe that human life is only possible because snakes eat enough rodents to leave some food for us.
This is another in a fine series of books about the natural world. Although they are aimed at children and I haven't been a child for a LONG time, I always learn something new and I always enjoy reading them. Even when the subject is (big cringe!) snakes.
Get this book for a little boy, but only if you don't mind reading it to him every day.
Fun and important facts and photos of snakes we need to know!
I found this to be a very important ebook in learning about all the various types of snakes. And learning where they life, what they eat what they look like,etc. Such realistic photos of these critters. I would recommend this ebook not just for young kids but anyone any age who may not know the dangers and what they look like and act, so for all these facts, I feel it needs five stars. I received this ebook for free and after reading it I have now written an honest review. Great work Emma! Will you be writing more ebooks of the different species of animals and birds in our world now? By Angela L.
