Illustrated by
Antonio Castro L..
Joe is a serious gum chewer. His teacher and his mother are disgusted by his habit. It saves his life, however, when he steps on a rattlesnake who, in lunging, lands himself a mouthful of the chewing gum Joe has in his pocket. This tall tale takes a little too long to get going, and the dynamic illustrations may upset ophidiophobes.
