Gr 1–3—Through simple, direct language, each title introduces basic information about a single species, including range, physical characteristics, food, and reproduction. Excellent photographs fill more than half of each spread. They are clear and alternate nicely between close-ups, such as a striking image of a rattlesnake's mouth, and broader views like the one showing a group of garter snakes emerging from hibernation. Every volume includes an appropriately vivid photo of its subject squeezing or swallowing its food. Words and pictures work together well for the most part, though not every photograph depicts the accompanying description precisely. Occasionally the information is too generalized. For example, Copperheads states that "Copperheads live in North America" which is true, but the range map clearly shows that their range includes only the southeast United States. Overall, though, the impressive photos and solid information will have strong appeal to younger readers.
