Snake Charmer

32 pp. | Holt | May, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6499-0 $$16.95
(3) K-3 In clear, simple prose, this book introduces Vishnu, a boy in India whose father and grandfather are snake charmers. Descriptions of the family's subsistence lifestyle and care of the snakes are matter-of-fact and completely nonsensationalized. Through color photos displayed album-style, along with culturally derived borders and other artwork, life in a contemporary Indian village comes alive.
