Snakes! There's something deliciously creepy about snakes, which this book uses to full advantage. But it will also encourage children to see the beauty of these creatures. Snakes have some outstandingly odd abilities having to do with everything from the tip of their forked tongues to the rattles some of them have in their tails. The easy-to-read series for curious kids, with National Geographic's great photographs. Level 2 is suitable for children who are reading independently.
