An educational book

This book was for my daughter who loves snakes. It was pretty advanced for her, but she was very interested and she learned a lot reading it.

GREAT BOOK ! ....

I love this book its an interesting blend of natural history and great storytelling. Its for young adults but people of all ages will enjoy this book.

Interesting if you like snakes

In this book, you follow a king snake as it hatches, goes on its first hunt, and winds up in life threatening situations. The simple vocabulary and short length of the book makes it more ideal for kids. It's also very specific on the species of prey the king snake feeds on, so you might wind up learning about frogs or whatever as well. It is very interesting and informative, but may seem boring to those who want a more action-packed story.
