Description

Snakes live in many countries of the world. They belong to the group of animals called reptiles, which have cold blood and scaly skin. A snake is an unusual animal, because it has a simple body with no legs, just a skull and a bendy backbone. It looks like a head and one long tail, but it is not really a simple animal, as it can be dangerous.

Author description

Series editor and author of the Red Rocket reading program, Pam Holden has more than 30 years specialist experience in literacy. As a Reading Recovery teacher she has worked one-to-one with hundreds of children struggling with literacy. Pam's pupils have also included those approaching English as a second language, and children who are advanced and require extension. This experience has given the author a rare insight into the literacy process and has enabled her to identify many key elements that consistently block children's progress.
