"The conductor takes the tickets / as the snakes all slither on. / The tracks are checked. / The whistle blows. It's time to move along." So begins this day-in-the-life of some rail-riding snakes. Between the swinging rhymes, blocky art in blazing colors, and sibilant refrain ("Hissssssssssssssss goes the sound of the train"), this book is destined for Read-Aloud Station.

Mouse's constant questions irritate his friends and family, so he leaves home to find answers. He meets a wise man who tells him: "I can only teach you how to find [answers] for yourself." (The satisfying source: the public library.) Distinctive turquoise and orange illustrations depict Mouse's journey. Three final pages answer some of the questions.
