No reason not to give this informative little book 5 stars! I love DK Publishing's offerings, and this one is no exception. It even included my favourite reptile: the Gila Monster! Fun to read through on a Sunday.

I have this book, a herpetology textbook, and 2 other books specifically about snakes that I love to read when I’m high. You can imagine how excited I was to find a page titled Marine Iguana.

Great book! I have the older dk reptiles and amphibians as well and I must say this version is much better. There is more animals, and more information and a handy glossary in the back incase you want to know what something means. Definitely recommend this version.
