5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice book for young or old

M. · December 8, 2020

This is a very nice book about snakes. I bought it for my 6 year old son who likes snakes and likes informational books about animals. Initially I bought Chris Mattison’s other book about snakes but that one was like a textbook which was just too much information for a 6 year old. I returned that one and bought this one instead and I’m happy that I did. This book gives a good amount of information without being overwhelming and has some beautiful big pictures of snakes too. What I like most about this one is it goes through lots of different kinds of snakes giving some information and pictures about each one. I know my son will like to learn about the different kinds of snakes.

Great book for 5yrs son

R.w. · July 28, 2012

大変きれい アップも美しい

こ. · November 4, 2016

当然英語なんですが、日本版は高いのでこちらを購入しました。全ての蛇が出ているわけではありません。代表的なものだけですが、写真がきれいでレイアウトも私好みで、いかにも外国の図鑑という感じです。写真が大きいので見応えがありますので、愛でたい人用の1冊でしょう。

Good book, not the best packaging

W. · May 10, 2024

Nothing to complain about the book itself.But the package was just padded envelope. Unfortunately it doesn't protect the book very well. It happens a few time already for me. Nothing ever major, scratches and marks on the covers, but if you expect a pristine book... Got a artbook a few days ago that came in a box and it was in perfect condition. Not sure what the rules for selecting the package. Both were handlef by Bolo.

Such an amazing book

H.D. · October 11, 2021
