Customer Reviews

Kids love this book!

This is a true story about a snake that swallows a light bulb and the compassionate farmer who saves him. My kids loved it when we got it in a book order, and my kindergarten students enjoyed it this year. Probably good for grades k-4, but would work well for older readers who struggle as well.

A snake's Mistake

Wonderful true story that a kindergarten class was intrigued over. Great for discussions on environment and recycling. Also great for discussing Vets.

A Snake Mistake

Charming true tale to show children how snakes can mistake things they should not be exposed to and how they can hurt them. Children in a kindergarten class I subbed in loved the tale and were very concerned for the snake. They were glad to know the snake was ok after the incident.
