It's World Snake Day! I'm certainly not enamoured of snakes, but the students I teach are. In fact the snake books in the library are nearly as popular as the shark books. Usually they want to borrow expository texts and marvel at the photos. We have many books that satisfy this need, the most popular probably being Damian Goodall's The Snake Book: Slip Sliding Away, but if you are looking for some picture books, these are some of the newer and more popular ones in the library:• I (Don't) Like Snakes by Nicola Davies and Luciano Lozana
• Python by Christopher Cheng and Mark Jackson
• There's a Snake in My School! by David Walliams and Tony Ross• Boa's Bad Birthday by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross
• Anna and Otis by Maisie Paradise Shearring
• I Saw Anaconda by Emma Dodd and Jane Clarke
If you want to share a short novel, try:
• Akimbo and the Snakes by Alexander McCall Smith
• The Snake Who Came to Stay by Julia Donaldson
• Snake and Lizard by Joy Cowley
I have written about snakes before here.
