Nature's Children series provides young readers (Ages 8-10) with fascinating information about the planet's most incredible wildlife species. Each title offers a complete picture of the animal- from birth to adulthood- and describes its place in our world, including how humans impact it and its environment.


Readers will learn all about these massive snakes and their slightly smaller cousins, from the way they use their bodies to crush prey to the way they stretch their jaws to swallow huge animals whole. They will also find out how where anacondas live, how they reproduce, and why people have little to fear from these powerful snakes.
