It introduces a wide variety of reptiles from all over the world, explaining what makes them unique through simple text and vibrant, engaging illustrations.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses predator and prey dynamics in a factual, biological context. For example, it may show a snake constricting its prey or a crocodile with its mouth open near another animal. These depictions are not graphic or gratuitous; they are presented as a normal part of the animal's life. The approach is entirely secular and scientific.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 6-year-old who is obsessed with animals and collecting facts. This child loves non-fiction, points out every creature they see on a nature walk, and might have a particular fascination with animals that others find 'scary,' like snakes or crocodiles. They are moving beyond picture books and are ready for accessible, informational text.
