It's a Good Thing There Are Snakes

Rookie Read-About Science

by Lisa M. Herrington

Snakes look scary. Some are even deadly. But snakes are helpful, too. They hunt rats and other pests that harm crops and their venom is used to make medicine. Snakes are also food hawks, foxes, raccoons, and other animals. The well-organized chapters help students identify key details. The illustrations and text features such as captions and bold print help students navigate the text while the photographs add clarity and enable students to better understand the text.

For my purposes (a preschool student of mine who is scared of snakes), I liked the concept of this book, but unfortunately, the portion of the book that is about the good snakes do is very short. The rest of the book is just another basic overview of basic snake facts. Title seems a lil misleading in light of that.

My 5year old daughter is fascinated by snakes and wanted to learn more about them. She loved this book. It was very informative, but still simple enough for her to understand.
