One should always aware of the "snake season" - Spring and Summer - when the reptiles come out to frolic! Mating season always gets our Aussie lot over-excited and this is the time to be wary, wherever you live. The gurus say, "For every snake you see, there are three or four you don't."  This is uneasy hearing as our country, Australia, is notorious for our bad-tempered Eastern Browns, the Mulga - also known as the King Brown in the inland areas - the Taipan and various other characters who lurk in long grass, leaves and frequently, coil up on back door steps. Already this summer, there have been several snake bite victims in our area; I am certain that the same is true for every country.Emma Child has written an easy to read, informative book with great photos, intended for children in America, but it will do no harm for adults to pay attention and note the facts that are put forward. It has been my experience over the years that far too many so-called "grown-ups" in all countries are blase when it comes to snakes.A great little book, and well worth obtaining for the education of American children.
