(3) K-3 Smithsonian Little Explorer series. This book engagingly introduces ten snake families, including colubrids, pythons, mambas, and sea snakes. Close-up photos and an accessible text balance the basic facts ("Garter snakes do not hurt people") with audience-pleasing snippets ("But they sometimes poop on people who pick them up"). "Critical thinking" questions designed ("using the Common Core") are appended to encourage further exploration of the topic. Reading list. Glos., ind.
