Snakes (2007) By: Gail Gibbons
This nonfiction book is all about snakes and is both easy to understand and informative. The author describes different types of snakes and how the creatures eat, hunt, move, give birth, mythology and more. The illustrations are detailed and realistic, but still child-friendly. As a reader, I enjoyed the message that most snakes are harmless and the surprising facts like snakes use their tongue to smell. As a teacher, this book could be used during a lesson about endangered species, cold-blooded animals or reptiles. Students could also discuss or write in journals about common snake misconceptions they learned from reading this book.
