Snake Scientist A Must Read October 2, 2008
This is awesome book about snakes. If you are interested in snakes is it a must read. Did you know that a Boa can swollow something bigger than it's head? That is amazing plus the fact that there can be up to 18,000 snakes in one place. The book is filled with pictures and facts that will give you a new attitude when it comes to the way you look at snakes. This is the best but shortest book I've read. I would recommend it to anyone.
A unique look into one of the wonders of the world. May 21, 1999

Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop have managed to bring this awesome display of nature and the man who studies it to life! This book would be a wonderful addition to any household, library or school, as it describes the work of a dedicated scientist who has committed his life to understanding what we as humans can gain from the lives of garter snakes. Dr. Mason obviously loves his work and loves passing along his knowledge to others, young and old. "The Snake Scientist" is an accurate picture of an almost undescribable phenomenom.
An inspirational book for kids March 26, 1999

This book about the adventures of Bob Mason, an Oregon State University scientist who studies snakes all over the world, is a must-read for any child (grades four to seven would be great) who loves science or nature - and a good gift idea for any parent who would like to steer their kids in that direction. Easy to read, great photography, compelling stories about snakes, science, the growth of a young boy who just started out watching nature shows on TV and turned that interest into a career as a world-class zoologist. Excellent choice!
Stunning photography March 21, 1999

A fabulous book, replete with color photographs of the snakes. Kids will gravitate to the pictures first, and then the text will engage them in Dr. Mason's research. His comments are child-oriented, yet will not insult the older readers in the audience. Bob's stories of his childhood and career path are an added bonus to this book....and may even encourage more budding "Snake Scientists"! Well done!
