Review: Cute and fun - My daughter L.O.V.E.S. snakes. She is almost 8 and has loved snakes since before she was 3. They have always been her favorite and even owns a ball python now and plans to be a herpetologist when she grows up. However, most people don't like snakes and finding books where the snake is the "good guy" is super hard. A friend found this at the library and had me read it and we bought it for her for her next birthday and it's just lovely. The illustrations are adorable (something I personally care about) the snake is the good guy (what my daughter cares about) and the book is fun and funny (what my husband and other kids care about). I would definitely recommend it.
Review: The boa constrictor who could - I came across this book years ago in a bookstore in the foreign language section of children's books. (It was in German and I was studying German.) I have since bought countless copies whenever and wherever I came across them to give to friends' children. I'm now grandmother-aged, but it's still one of my favorite books (in either language). The illustrations are so clever and the story is sweet. Note: I can't recall which language has which, but the drawing of an octopus in one of the books has only 7 tentacles, whereas the drawing in the other book has 8 tentacles. This is a must for children from 3 to 93. If there were 10 stars, I would give it 10.
