(4) K-3 Illustrated by Antonio Castro L.. After Joe rescues a trapped rattler, the snake follows him home. Joe's dad tries to get rid of the dangerous animal, but it keeps coming back. The ending twist may leave kids feeling let down, but the narration's tall-tale feel (though awkward at times) makes the story a suitable read-aloud. The earth-toned, realistic illustrations emphasize the beauty of the Southwestern desert.
