I see one mistake (rattlesnakes’), but what’s the 2nd one?
Never mind. The two its were close enough together that I read it too quickly. I see the 2nd its now.
there are s’o many things’ wrong with thi’s picture.
it has three apostrophe mistakes. Both its should be it’s. And… Rattlesnakes’ should be rattlesnake’s (the “a” before denotes a singular, not plural) and that’s an educational book… awesome
Rebecca — the 1st “its” is correct.
Einstein? Well, I guess he always said that he didn’t keep information in his brain that he could research. How sad that this is an “educational” piece.
And surely a rattlesnake’s bite is venomous rather than poisonous?
The first its is correct. The two mistakes are the second its and the apostrophe in rattlesnakes.
Its not smart to shake maraca’s when a rattlesnakes trying to stay a’sleep.
It's sad to see mistakes in children's books.
