This is a really great very informative book. It was written by my son and I. My son JJ is 9 years old, and an avid snake lover now !! So many kids are fascinated by snakes but their parents do not want to buy a snake because they are afraid that it will not make a good pet. We researched snakes hands on for 6 months until we gathered enough information to produce this helpful book, and to show people that some snakes definitely make good pets for kids and their families ! This was a very time consuming project that took 6 months of very hard work.This was also a very expensive project. Actually handling all the available snakes and learning about them was so very interesting. Now we have the opportunity to pass it on to you ! I know reading this book will definitely change your mind about snakes and how well some of them can interact with kids. We tell you the best snake species to buy for your kids ! A great handy very informative book !
