Very informative book about rattlesnakes. The rules are informative and explain to the reader both why rattlesnakes behave the way they do and what people should do if they see a rattlesnake. I personally love the end of the book, which listed a lot of interesting facts that would be perfect for a book or animal report!
The illustrations are done beautifully and match the “rules” that are being talked about on the page.
I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.

The story was given in a poetic style that was brief and fun. Although there were spots where the poetic flow seemed stilted a bit the rest of it flowed pretty nicely.

Told in rhyming stanzas, this book starts by showing off how different animals have different rules before settling into the one in the title.
Using pictographs and a bell she holds in her rattle tail, momma snake—she’s wearing a necklace though she has no shoulders—teaches the little ones all about livin’ the reptile life. There’s rules for humans too, but only one seems to be important: leave the rattlers alone!
I can just imagine a kid asking, “Mom, what does ‘Ace of Spades” mean?”

Delightful book. Well illustrated and teaches young readers in a very entertaining way.
Rattlesnake Rules by Conrad J. Storad is a children's non fiction picturebook. Rattlesnakes have rules?! If these babies shake their rattles, you had better pay attention!
