Customer Reviews

The kids love it!

I have read this book aloud to several classes... third, fourth, and fifth grades. They love it! There is something irresistable about a snake for a pet and messing around in a funeral home!

Nick lives above a funeral home. Where's Slim Jim?

I thought it was boring in the beginning, but became interesting towards the end. The boys will really like this book. The ladies will be grossed out.
