It’s all about the biology. However, writing and illustrations were not sacrificed to accommodate the technical details. If you’re looking for a good guidebook about snakes then we suggest U.S. Guide to Venomous Snakes and Their Mimics by Scott Shupe.All by themselves, snakes terrify people but add fangs and venom into the mix, and you’ve got a fearsome animal — the stuff of nightmares for some people. Yet, they’re mostly a misunderstood bunch. They’re not typically aggressive and would much rather avoid you than have a confrontation. None of the world’s snakes are out to get you, humans are not on their dietary menu, and a little knowledge goes a long way toward building respect for the “spicy noodles” of the world. Storybooks provide a unique blend of entertainment and education, taking young readers on snake-related adventures.
