We Can't All Be Rattlesnakes by Patrick Jennings
3.0
We got this from the library because my second grader LOVES snakes and I thought it would be fun to read aloud with him. The fanciful premise of the story, told from the perspective of an arrogant snake imprisoned by a repulsive human, sounded intriguing for a kid who's engrossed by nonfiction animal science books.
However, the vocabulary used in this book is a little advanced for him (and his 4-year-old brother), and I didn't feel up to "translating" every other sentence for them. So I read it on my own, to satisfy my own curiosity about the story, and we'll check it out again in a couple of years when I won't have to serve as a personal dictionary.
