Snakes are slimy. Turtles can crawl out of their shells. Your young reptile fan has heard it all, and most of it is myth. PoppyPedia: Snakes and Reptiles busts the myths and hands back facts verified against real science.
Go on, read one out loud right now:
- Eye squirt. A horned lizard can squirt blood from its own eyes up to five feet to scare off predators like coyotes and foxes.
- The decoy head. A thorny devil has a fake head on the back of its neck that it shows to predators while hiding its real head.
- Myth busted. Chameleons change color mainly to control body temperature and to communicate mood, not mainly to match their background.
Twelve chapters of that. Snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles and the rare tuatara, all revealed up close.
- Fact or Fiction. Every chapter tests a common belief, then reveals the true science in plain words.
- Visually explained. Bold pictures make venom, camouflage and life cycles click instantly.
- Reptile Rescue Field Kit. A hands on guide to watching reptiles safely in the wild.
- Built for rereading. Kids check what they heard at school against what is true.
For parents and teachers. Screen-free reading a child actually finishes, with a glossary and map that make it classroom ready.
Feed the obsession. Add it to your cart today and let your young explorer win every reptile argument.
A brilliant gift for birthdays, Christmas, Easter baskets and zoo trips, for any curious kid, age 7 and up, who would rather hold a snake than a teddy bear.Also in
