Sterrin can tell you numerous interesting things about the world of reptiles!
Reptiles are found all over the world. Well, everywhere except Antarctica, which is far too cold. But otherwise, these smart creatures have managed to adapt to all kinds of environments. Since each continent has a different climate and nature, reptiles have developed in different ways.
In this book, Sterrin takes you on an exciting reptile journey: learn all about the different continents and the effect of the landscape, climate and humans on reptiles, newly discovered and almost extinct species, and much more! The book includes call-to-action tips, fascinating thematic spreads, and engaging interviews with reptile experts from around the world.
Praise for Sterrin Smalbrugge:
‘Sterrin Smalbrugge is the female equivalent of Freek Vonk: like him, she is mad about reptiles and travels the world to study them. A nice mix of photos, illustrations and text, which makes this a great book both to read and look at.’ – KIDSWEEK**** on The Big Reptile Book
‘This book gives the reader a broader view of nature and the dangers for reptiles (and other animals). The many small illustrations add a humorous note to the story. Highly recommended!’ – PLUIZUIT.BE on Sterrin’s Reptile Journey
