Snakes, lizards, turtles and crocodilians are the subject of this Eyewitness volume from DK Children.
The Eyewitness series built its reputation on photography: specimens shot against clean backgrounds with concise captions alongside, a format that has stayed effective for decades. Seventy-two pages in hardcover gives room for the main reptile groups and their adaptations without the book turning into a field guide. For readers of nine to twelve it works both as something to read through and as a first port of call for school projects on classification, habitat and animal behaviour.
Reasons readers return to it:
• Part of the long-running DK Eyewitness series
• 72 hardcover pages devoted to reptiles
• Photography-led spreads with short explanatory captions
• Pitched at readers aged nine to twelve
Handy for upper-primary students, school projects and young naturalists, and it is found at Boipoka.
