This is a scientifically accurate (I'm a snake biologist) and entertaining read, even for a big kid like me! I love that the story is told from the snake's perspective; what a fun way to learn about the natural history of watersnakes.

My seven year-old sat beautifully for the whole book. Totally engaged, lots of questions and we couldn't have enjoyed this book more. It helped that we love the The Smoky Mountains!!

I found it to be extremely verbose for a kid’s picture book but it engaged my son. It’s educational and has nice illustrations.
