Titanoboa: A First Look (Read about Prehistoric Beasts (Read for a Better World ™))

This non-fiction early reader introduces children to Titanoboa, the largest snake ever discovered. Using simple language, photographs, and artist renderings, the book explains where Titanoboa lived, what it ate, how scientists uncovered its fossils in Colombia’s Cerrejón coal mine, and what its discovery tells us about Earth’s warm, post-dinosaur environment. Each short chapter blends vivid facts with critical-thinking questions that invite young readers to imagine life in the Paleocene rainforest and to compare Titanoboa with modern snakes.
