A book that will be enjoyable and educational for snake-lovers of any age." --Dr. Bryan Fry, toxicologist and author of Venom Doc"Snakes for Kids is a must-have for any young budding naturalist! When I was younger, I wish there was a book that spoke directly to me the way this book does! I fully believe that many young people will read this and be inspired to study and appreciate snakes." --Tony Daly-Crews, executive director of The Rattlesnake Conservancy"Feared, hated, reviled, and usually killed on sight--that is often the fate of snakes. People need to be educated to drop the weapon and instead stand back and marvel at the sinuous beauty of the serpent in front of them--and understand how important snakes are to the ecology of the Earth. The best way to achieve this is to speak to the children, to inspire in them a fascination for these limbless reptiles. Snakes for Kids, by Michael Starkey, is the ideal introduction to the world of serpents for budding herpetologists. I remember the first snake books I owned when I was 10. I can still picture the snakes on every well-thumbed page. Fifty years from now someone will be writing the same about Snakes for Kids. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.--Mark OShea herpetologist and television personality"Scientifically accurate books for kids are a serious rarity, especially when it comes to snakes!

Starkey does an excellent job explaining snake biology and natural history in a way that is sure to spark an interest in budding naturalists. Snakes for Kids is an important tool in the effort to overcome the misinformation and fear about snakes--and show the next generation what cool and important animals they actually are!" --David Mizejewski, spokesperson for the National Wildlife Federation"Welcome to the wild and fascinating world of snakes!
