Nature Guide: Snakes and Other Reptiles and Amphibians

Great book for adults & kids!

This is a great book for adults & kids alike! The size of the book is a little bigger than a 5x7 photo. It has a nice thickness & quality about it. The cover is thicker & doesn't look like it would be damaged easily being bounced around in a book bag. The pages are a thicker quality, and glossy. The photos are amazing quality in the book. We got this book for my daughter's 8th birthday who loved the Smithsonian Nature Guide to Birds, so this is the equivalent for snakes & amphibians. Even though there are large words (genus, class, species etc) in the book, she is able to ask for help on them easily or skip over that section & read the other "blurbs" on the page about the animal. She mostly loves using the index section where she can think of a name of a snake & then find it & search for the page. It is broken out in sections keeping like animals together. There are main pages to each section explaining the differences of say amphibians before reading about the specific frogs themselves. This is a great book that you can read together or they can read independently. Honestly my husband & I end up flipping thru it many times after she goes to bed! Read more
