(3) K-3 Illustrated by Meryl Henderson. This book covers how snakes see, smell, reproduce, and kill and consume prey larger than themselves. Realistic watercolors depict snakes in their intriguingly adaptive forms, colors, and shapes. Along with the clear text, the illustrations draw attention to the variety of snake movement: up trees, over hot sand, in water, and even through the air. This is a useful and engaging resource.
