This little book about snakes contains some very nice photos coupled with short and, in many cases, poorly written text. I hope parents are reading this to their children correctly and not verbatim. Perhaps the author should employ an editor before she attempts to "teach" children about snakes with good pictures and bad english/grammar. Need an example? This is from the Description and contains an error in each of the two sentences in this paragraph: "There are also picture captions, which provides more information to talk about with your child. Alternatively, a child of any age (even the child in you) can just look at the images and appreciate its beauty". Okay, "captions" don't "provides", they PROVIDE and since "images" are the object, you appreciate THEIR beauty, not "its". Sorry, but editing is an important part of producing a finished product, especially when children are the intended audience.
