Slither and Crawl features snake fangs, alligator claws, and turtle shells – all life-size! Go belly down on the ground, eye to reptilian eye, with acclaimed naturalist Jim Arnosky. Through large gatefolds and marvellously detailed, realistic art, he takes kids (safely!) up close and personal with these slithery, crawly creatures. Arnosky explains how to identify venomous snakes and their harmless cousins, where to find a 200-pound lizard, how to avoid becoming an alligator's lunch and much more. It's the perfect gift for a budding naturalist, animal lover or artist.
Please note: has also been published as part of the bundle Jim Arnosky's Wild World.
