Review

The Science of Living Things series demonstrates that Bobbie Kalman and her staff have turned out yet another informative and finely produced series of books. . . . this whole series would make a welcome addition to the elementary school library -- Kay Lehr, Fort Rouge School, Manitoba, Jan. 1999

These are sure to be popular with many young readers!! This book will provide an excellent source of general information on reptiles -- Kay Lehr, Fort Rouge School, Manitoba, Jan. 1999 --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

Taken from Chapter 8: Self-defense Some snakes and lizards use venom, or poison, to protect themselves. Poisonous snakes and lizards have two extra teeth called fangs in their mouth. Fangs collapse against the roof of the reptile's mouth when they are not being used. When the reptile needs them, the fangs flip down and are ready to be used. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

This review is from: What Is a Reptile? (Science of Living Things) (Paperback)

This entire series of books on animals, their habitats, life cycles, etc. are wonderful! I own 13 of them now. I use these with my first graders during our animal unit. Each book has fantastic pictures and drawings. The information is presented very well but also simply enough that primary aged students can grasp the concepts and find it fascinating. The books also enable themselves to be read in pieces if you want to skip something or focus on a certain area. I highly recommend books by Bobbie Kalman!
