Critics Review
“Try this at storytime, when it’s likely to please both the snake-lovers and snake-haters in the group.” – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
One of Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Best Books for Kids and Teens, Fall 2021
“Durst’s digitally finished crayon pencil pictures are appropriately lively and goofy, and her naïve anatomical graphs are equally comical and effective. Try this at storytime, when it’s likely to please both snake-lovers and snake-haters.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Rachel Poliquin has given Celeste a chatty voice that keeps the facts-filled text from sounding pedantic, and Kathryn Durst … extends it with her comically funny depiction of the characters and their actions.” —Montreal Gazette
“A clever and entertaining approach to discovering the pertinent factual aspects of pythons while enjoying a goofy, easy-to-read story.” —CM Magazine
