Fangs: Black Mambas Sudden Death was about Black Mambas facts. My top 3 favorite facts about black mambas are that they are the worlds fastest snakes; the largest snake in Africa; and, strike with tremendous force. I liked this book because I like snakes, I even petted a snake before.

This non-fiction title may be choppy at times but young readers will find the close-up photos of the black mamba and much of the description quite fascinating.
