Product Description
Baby Rattlesnake cries and cries for his own rattle but his parents say he is too young to have one. His crying keeps the Rattlesnake People up all night so finally his parents give him a rattle to keep him quiet. Alas, Baby uses his new rattle to scare animals and other small creatures. Finally when he grows bolder he tries to scare the chief’s daughter. Baby learns an important lesson and his family comforts him with big rattlesnake hugs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crying baby keep you awake at night?, April 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Viborita de Cascabel: Baby Rattlesnake, Spanish-Language Edition (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Baby rattlesnake wants a rattle and waon't stop crying until he gets it. Unfortunately he isn't mature enough to use his rattle responsibly. Disaster ensues. Both parents and children will love this book. The illustrations are beautiful and all families will relate to the story. Its a great read aloud book and is available in both Spanish and English.

This book has been a favorite of mine as a teacher for many years. Children are fascinated by the story, and love it when Baby Rattlesnake cries!
