With more than 3,700 sub-species around the world, there's a snake to delight and frighten every kind of reader, from Australia's deadly Eastern brown snake to the green anaconda, the heaviest snake in the world. Not to mention the teeny-tiny Barbados thread snake, which is half as long as a pencil! So come along on a fascinating expedition with the world-renowned scientist and explorer Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma as they explore the world’s weirdest, slitheriest reptile family. This gorgeous large format picture book comes with lush, full-colour illustrations from renowned illustrator Katie Melrose, gold foil and tactile grain lamination on the cover that feels like snakeskin – making it the perfect gift for animal lovers and ophiophilists (people who love reptiles) alike!
