Penner. L.R. (2009). S-S-Snakes.(Barret, P. Illus.). New York: Random house.
This is a level three reader all about snakes, the closest comparable subject the library had to dinosaurs. This book talks not only about 24 different snakes, but details some of their family histories, how to protect oneself from them, and how to keep them as pets. The set up is a similar style to the previous levelled reader where the text and detailed, hand painted pictures intertwine across the page spread. I am a disappointed that the book has neither a table of contents nor a glossary, as these are staples of non-fiction works regardless of the level. This book has almost twenty pages more than the last level. It is an interesting book, but probably a guys read more than anything else.
