Beginning with a Cherokee Indian legend about copperheads, facts are presented about this fascinating reptile.  Their habitat, coloring, types of copperheads, and how they hunt fill this 32 page book.  Highlighted terms are defined on the page as well as again in the glossary.  Fact boxes provide extra details.  Photographs are large, colorful, and show features of each type of snake.  Glossary, index, and books for further reading are in the back.  A facthound internet site and a publisher site provide further information and activities.
