Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–In this nearly wordless fable, a snake sneaks up on various animals, hisses at them, and slithers away with a chuckle. When it tries this prank on a duck overhead, the bird flies down into the snakes belly. Now the snake can only quack, and the other reptiles laugh in response. Soon the bully is overwhelmed by quacking ducks attracted by its noises. The duck emerges and flies off with the others. The snake looks relieved that they appear to have gone, but the first one sneaks up on it and belts out a loud QUACK! The creature is visibly rattled, while the duck flies off with the last laugh. The only words in this book, except for various animal sounds, appear on the last page: This book is dedicated to bullies everywhere. In comic-strip panels, Aruego and Deweys signature pen-and-ink and gouache art is droll and accessible. This lighthearted tale could lead to some interesting discussions of the birds motivations as well as the subject of bullying. Young readers will find the format and the karmic justice of this story appealing.–Rachel G. Payne, Brooklyn Public Library, NY

PreS. No words (save some hisses, quacks, and hee hees) are needed to tell this slapstick story. A big snake bully tries to scare the feathers off every creature he encounters with a well-timed hiss and a quick flick of his forked tongue. One hiss backfires, however, when the snake's latest target, a duck, ends up flying straight into the reptile's gullet. All the bewildered snake can then do is quack, which isn't nearly as intimidating to his potential victims as a hiss. What goes 'round comes 'round when the duck, who eventually climbs out of the snake's throat, sneaks up and shoots a terrifyingly loud quack at him from behind. The comical artwork reflects a once-smug snake who dissolves into quivery lines of fear and squiggles of humiliation. The horizontal format lends itself well to the comic-strip-style frames with appealingly simple compositions of colorful animals on crisp white backgrounds. The opening endpapers are abundant "hisses" and the closing ones are "hee hees," the literal last laugh. A simple revenge-is-sweet tale, "dedicated to bullies everywhere." Karin Snelson
