I (Don’t) Like Snakes

A young girl explains why snakes make her uneasy: they slither, stare, and have scaly skin and flicking tongues. Her snake-loving father, mother, and brother respond to her concerns with information and corrections, including the fact that snake skin is dry rather than slimy. Their conversation expands her understanding of the family’s pet snakes. The fictional story is combined with factual material about snake biology and behavior, plus a bibliography and index.
