About the book

Spectacular Snakes (Explore Your World

Slither into the world of Spectacular Snakes with explorer and scientist Tim Flannery and his daughter, Emma, as they shine the spotlight on one of the world's most beloved and surprising creatures!

There's more to snakes than them being venomous and cold-blooded. Did you know a snake can still grow even when it hasn’t eaten for months? Or that snakes have flexible jaws that allow them to eat prey that’s much larger than them? Or that snakes are masters of disguise?

With more than 3,700 sub-species around the world, there's a snake to delight and frighten every kind of reader, from Australia's deadly Eastern brown snake to the green anaconda, the heaviest snake in the world. Not to mention the teeny-tiny Barbados thread snake, which is half as long as a pencil! So come along on a fascinating expedition with the world-renowned scientist and explorer Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma as they explore the world’s weirdest, slitheriest reptile family.

This gorgeous large format picture book comes with lush, full-color illustrations from renowned illustrator Katie Melrose, gold foil and tactile grain lamination on the cover that feels like snakeskin – making it the perfect gift for animal lovers and ophiophilists (people who love reptiles) alike! And according to the Chinese Zodiac, it's published in the Year of the Snake too!
