It’s an unusual tale and the illustrations, which have a 1950s
feel, are sss-sensational.
*The Times*
Davies’ chatty, gently humorous narrative style and Luciano
Lozano’s superb illustrations of both human and reptilian
characters work so well together. The combination of almost
cartoon-like humans and zoologically accurate snake drawings
together with the differing type-faces used for the text is
enormously effective. A must buy for budding zoologists and for the
primary school library.
