Bishop, N. (2012). Snakes. New York: Scholastic Nonfiction.
This nonfiction book explores the fascinating world of snakes. It includes numerous interesting facts such as which is the largest and the smallest, as well as information about how snakes move, sense their prey, consume victims much larger than themselves, and stay warm in the winter.
The cover of this book will grab your attention whether you are drawn to snakes or not. Nic Bishop's photographs are incredibly detailed and reveal the gorgeous colors of the rainbow boa, dragon-like scales of the feathered bush viper, and camouflage of the Gaboon viper. The main idea on each two-page spread is cleverly highlighted with large and colorful font, making the book easy to navigate when looking for specific information. Bishop reveals how he captured these dangerous shots at the end of the book.
