Snapping Turtles

by Kathleen Connors

Book Overview

When left alone, snapping turtles don't do much except look for food and bask in shallow water. But if they feel threatened, these huge reptiles may snap--and they have a powerful bite. Including their commonly aggressive nature and the differences between the common snapper and the alligator snapper, readers are introduced to a wild animal they could actually encounter. Fun fact boxes add to achievable content, while colorful photographs help readers recognize the "dinosaur of the turtle world."
