Hissssss! Watch out for that snake! This book takes adventurous readers on a quest into the world of the python. Students will discover a slithery way of life as they learn about the python's impressive size, mouthful of sharp teeth, and special senses such as its heat-sensing pits. Full-color photos give kids an opportunity to identify these creepy reptiles by their beautiful scale colors and patterns. Readers will also observe how colorful pythons use their natural camouflage to disappear from sight! A range map supplements chapter information about the surprising places these hungry constrictors live. Bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index compliment the chapter text.
