The things authors have to do to get readers' attention! Herpetologist David Nieves imitates a rhino rat snake before an audience of kids at the annual River Read Literature Festival on Friday, March 10, 2006, at Park University in Parkville, Mo. Nieves, who lives in Belleview, Neb., wrote and photographed two books, "Reptiles Up Close" and "More Reptiles Up Close," and is now working on "Amphibians Up Close."
