Snake Book

This is an everything you could want to know about snakes and then some book. This informational text sticks to the facts. The photos are so real they feel like they should be moving. The book starts by going over basics for all snakes like environment, skeleton, organs, ect. Then, different types are looked at in depth. For children who go through phases where they want to know everything about something, this is perfect. While the reading level seems about at a fourth/fifth grade level, the pictures are so vivid it would be fun for just about any age to page through, including adults. DK has an entire series of books in this format and they all have great photography and easily formatted written perfect for kids.

This would be a great resource for an 'All About' report in fourth grade. While a little too in detail for second grade all about reports, an advanced reader could tackle it as well. Since each page you turn is a mini article on a new topic, this is also a great way to assign a reading, as students can pick the one snake they most want to learn about. The book could also be assigned as a jigsaw where everyone in the class takes one aspect to learn about.
