Snakes, Salamanders & Lizards (Take Along Guides)

Most kids won't be out catching snakes and lizards. Or maybe they'll be one of the lucky ones who will be. Either way, this book is colorful with beautiful artwork and informative with the information presented in a simple manner, making it enjoyable for kids. Even toddlers will enjoy looking through them. The kids thoroughly enjoy knowing how to identify reptiles and knowing something about them, even if they don't see them outside.

I love these guides. They are perfect for younger children who can't handle a lot of detailed prose. The sketches are charming, yet accurate. The information is geared to what a child might want to know, yet it is complete and it doesn't talk down to children. I'm not sure why they included salamanders (amphibians) along with snakes and lizards (reptiles), except for the fact that they're all long with pointy noses, but that's my only complaint.

My grandson's favorite thing is playing in the creek looking for creatures. We read this book over and over and discussed all that we read. Can't say enough about these books!

This entire series is perfect for a nature homeschool library or for any nature lover really. We love that they can be easily taken out for field learning. They are packed with all kinds of great information too. Worth investing in all the books like this.

The grand kids loved this book and look forward to having it with them when we go camping for information! Great pictures and some fact's that were not so well known!

These are simple books to keep at Grandmas house to peak the interest of the little ones looking for something to read. We need to encourage young adventurer to get outdoors and explore.

Perfect book for young explorers! Love the pictures and explanations. A book to grow with!

My granddaughter lives in the country in East Texas. She's interested in all creatures so she really enjoyed the book. I'm glad I got it for her.
