Life-Size Reptiles (Life-Size Series) Hardcover – Picture Book, March 1, 2007

I purchased this book for my 5 year old daughter after she feel in love with the well-worn copy at our local library. She has a curiosity about all animals, and loves lizards and snakes. The fact that this book shows the animals life-sized (relatively at times) helps her gain perspective on a level many books fail to convey. Her favorite is the foldout Komodo Dragon which is so large that it can only display the head of the animal. It was money well spent.

Wow what a lot of pictures. It created a huge buzz in our little library and is one of the most popular books right now.

my students loved the pictures, they are so realistic and really make you feel how much more bigger these animals are!

I really appreciate this book. It's educational, but mostly engaging and exciting! The illustrations are very nice, and information is interesting too.

There was more text and not as many outstanding pictures as I anticipated. It is still a great nonfiction book.

Spectacular! This is an excellent book with many life size posters. My 7 yr. old grandson was thrilled!

What has been the "read it again, mom" book for the past few weeks?!? Life-Size Reptiles by Hannah Wilson! Not your typical fluffy storybook by any means, but hey, I do have a 2 1/2 year old boy who loves snakes, crocodiles, and anything creepy crawly. The great thing about the Life-Size books, is that they really do have fold out pages showing the true to life size of many creatures. (yes, there are other titles in the series, like Dragons, Sharks and Amphibians). Snipets of information regarding the creatures depicted are included, but my little boy rarely lets me read them all. He loves the pictures and making the sounds his rapidly growing mind imagines belong to the huge (and even small) reptiles. Check them out, if you dare! They make learning fun!

My two children, a boy and a girl,love this book. It is exciting and fun to compare ourselves to these life size reptiles. There are also alot of interesting facts to go along with the great illustrations. It's very realistic-so not for the faint of heart!
