Reptiles Everywhere - (Animals Everywhere) by Camilla de La Bedoyere

Open your children’s eyes to the many reptiles that live in the world around us. The variety and locations they inhabit is surprising. From turtles, to snakes to lizards, reptiles can be found in fresh water, the ocean and on land. This book will tell you where to look, and the way many of the critters spend their time. Learn what they like to eat, and what they need to hide from—or who hides from them. For instance, the Asian forest tortoise will pile leaves over it eggs, and then stand on top of them to protect them from harm. Beware if the salty sea snake swims backwards, that is what it does when it is ready to capture its dinner. Be careful of swimming where the reticulated python is because it is the longest snake in the world, and it can grow up to 35 feet. This hard-backed book features beautiful embossing on the cover that will delight little fingers, while the gold flecks on the turtles will make their eyes sparkle. Told from an evolutionary perspective, it states how reptiles developed over time. This five-star book will be enjoyed by children six to nine years old. Candlewick Publishers has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, Reptiles Everywhere, for the purpose of review.
