Procure Poisonous Snakes Generated By Seymour Simon Manuscript

book is about the values and dangers of poisonous snakes, This is a nonfiction book best suited forth graders and above who have an interest in snakes, The book tells about the animals habitats, characteristics and where and how to approach/avoid these deadly animals, This would also be good for older students who are working on life science units, The illustrations are beautifully done and it is informative other than the fact that most snakes arent poisonous, Theyre venomous. It might seem like nitpicking but its a huge difference, We've read several nonfiction books by sitelinkSeymour Simon, His books are very informative and usually have a lot of interesting color photographs, I like that the books are educational, but not overwhelming with details or boring,

This book offers a fairly comprehensive look at poisonous snakes and describes the types of poisonous snakes that can be found around the world.
It's a fairly long book, so we took our time reading it, The information is quite interesting, but I wouldn't recommend reading it all at one time, It would be a good reference book for an elementary schoolage child writing a report, The black and white illustrations are nicely detailed, but I would prefer to see photographs of the snakes,

We enjoyed reading this book together and we will certainly look for more books by sitelinkSeymour Simon at our local library, Describes the behavior and characteristics of different kinds of poisonous snakes, including cobras, rattlesnakes, and water moccasins, Seymour Simon, whom the NY Times called the dean of childrens science: writers, is the author of thanhighly acclaimed science books many of which have been named Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children by the National Science Teachers Association.
