Kids Will Love This!

This is a fine starter book for kids interested in different animals...it's the first one we've read in the Animals in Order series. What I like a great deal about this is that it takes time at the beginning of the book to look at (briefly) what makes an animal a snake or lizard (the characteristics), then goes in to the "order" of living things which details the kingdom, phylum and class of snakes (with a handy visual chart for reference, great for younger kids, so they can SEE how it works rather than just read it or have it read to them). The book also talks a bit about where snakes and lizards fit into food chain, then goes from there into an overview of fourteen species of snakes and lizards, complete with full page, color photographs for each one (our boy loved this best), which were quiet nice. Each animal is given a full description including the Family, Genus and Species as well as the general size range!! I was impressed with and pleased to find that at the end of the book the author/publisher also included a short recommended reading list and some really great web pages to do more research on...the kids in particular LOVED this! We had a great time reading this and I hope read more of these very soon! I give it a solid two thumbs up, a great starter resource for young readers!
