We love animals as you know and I’m always on the look out for new books to engage Monkey. I’ve found a couple that I really like that I’ll be sharing with you this week. The first is Slither and Crawl by Jim Arnosky, a Sterling Books paperback available through GMC Distribution.
Slither and Crawl is a 32 page book full of information and illustrations concerning reptiles, from lizards and snakes through to one of Monkeys favourites – the sea turtle.
The illustrations are beautiful and work so well with the text to inform and educate young readers. We learn about habitats, where and how babies hatch and there are fold-out pages to give some idea of scale too.
It’s the kind of book that prompts discussions about which animals we might have seen in the zoo or at Crocodiles of the World and Monkey has been enthralled. We’ve become big fans of this authors work and I can really recommend this edition.
Priced at £5.99, I’ve included my Amazon Affiliate link below for your information.
