"Back to School" - Did you ever get really annoyed at seeing those 'back to school' ads in all shops the minute you'd broken up for the summer holidays?
Thinking about non-fiction needn't mean thinking about a return to academic life though, and fabulous books like "Pocket Guide to Turtles, Snakes and Other Reptiles" by Dr Amy Jane Beer and Alice Pattullo really are full of such amazing facts and information that they're good to read at any time, not just when school's in.
Learn everything you ever wanted to know about reptiles, in this handy pocket-sized guide.
Written by a natural history expert, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to all the families of reptiles such as turtles, tortoises, lizards, snakes, crocodiles and many many more!
If (like C) you absolutely love all things scaly, you'll be in your element in this book.
