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.

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?”

Review to follow!

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!
