Florida's Fabulous Reptiles and Amphibians

My kids and I went on a kick of reading reptile books at a difficulty level similar to this one. After a week of going through various titles, I was surprised to learn more about alligators from the short section in this book than I had learned from all the previous stuff we had read together! Ditto for cottonmouths, and other reptiles. The photographs are superb, and there are enough pictures of each species to give a true feel for what it looks like instead of a single profile view of each.

we LIVE in central florida and my nature loving kids are constantly bringing home wildlife. the vivid accurate photos in this book allow them to ID their living treasures with confidence. (then they get additional info from the internet). the book is also full of useful info, and conservation topics.

This book was given to me when I relocated to Florida, and I have thanked my benefactor many times over. Living in Florida means living with and respecting the wild critters, who are part of the beauty of this wonderful state. The colorful photos make it easy to identify the animals who slither through my new world and give me valuable information about which ones I should admire from afar.

If it's slithering, clawing or hopping around your Florida yard you'll find it in this book. The photographs are very well detailed for easy identification. I also recommend Florida's Fabulous Insects for other creepy crawlies.

Got this book for my nephews years ago and they still get it out every week or so to look for critters they have seen outside. It is FILLED with color photos and just the right amount of text for people who don't want to read but love nature. Now that I know there are other Florida's Fabulous books I will be getting them all.
