La Serpiente - Paperback

by Teresa Wimmer (Author)

Ropelike body coils ... Forked tongue flickers ... Meet the snake! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Snakes treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this group of remarkable reptiles. Translated into North American Spanish, it covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationships with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an American Indian tale about the snake adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
