See-Through Reptiles

Reach for this book when your child is in a heavy 'why' phase or expresses a sudden fascination with the creatures in the backyard or at the zoo. It is the perfect tool for a child who is more interested in how things work than in a traditional story, providing a hands-on way to explore biology without the intimidation of a dense textbook. Through the use of innovative transparent pages, the book allows children to peel back the skin of snakes, lizards, and turtles to see their internal systems. The book focuses on the theme of curiosity and wonder, transforming potentially 'scary' animals into fascinating biological machines. It is highly appropriate for elementary aged children, specifically those between 7 and 10 who are developing the fine motor skills to handle the overlays and the cognitive ability to understand anatomical systems. Parents will appreciate how it encourages scientific inquiry and replaces fear with factual knowledge.
