The Rattlesnake Who Went to School

32 pp. | Putnam | July, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23572-8 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lynne Cravath. Crowboy deals with his first-day-of-school jitters by turning himself into a fearsome rattler. The text, in which Crowboy's family and classmates indicate that they don't see a snake before them, and the chalky illustrations, in which Crowboy looks into a mirror and sees a snake, give readers just enough clues to realize that the transformation is all in the boy's head.
