5.0 out of 5 starsSlimy, Silly Fun!
By A Customer on February 22, 2004
Format: Hardcover
My 7 year old daughter is in a "fun book" stage. First, she fell in love with Drum, Chavi, Drum! (she still has to read it every night) and now with Slithery Jake. If you want your child to laugh outloud, get her/him these two books. You won't regret it. These are by far the most fun books in her collection.
Slithery Jake is slimy snake fun!

5.0 out of 5 starsYou'll want to take home Slithery Jake the pet snake!
By A Customer on March 23, 2004
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
As a parent, you'll want to read this book aloud to your child over and over again. The wacky rhymes roll off the tongue to a child's delight and the illustrations will keep your child giggling throughout the story. This book is so well written that I had to write a review!

5.0 out of 5 starsA thoroughly charming and entertainingly upbeat picture book
By Midwest Book Review on May 18, 2004
Format: Hardcover
Rose-Marie Provencher's Slithery Jake is an amusing picture book story brought to life with Abby Carter's watercolor illustrations. Sid is a young boy who brings home a snake as a pet. But then the snake escapes! Where in the world could that snake be? Slithery Jake is commended as a thoroughly charming and entertainingly upbeat picture book, featuring exaggerated action and comedy, and quite fun to read aloud.

5.0 out of 5 starsGREAT book!
By booker32 on December 21, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am a Prek teacher, and I ordered this book for my 3 yr old granddaughter. I LOVE IT - and so does she :>) This is a fabulous book for introducing new or unusual words into the vocabulary of your little one. Vocabulary before the age of 5 is the number ONE predictor of reading success ! Example of unusual words : meandered , screeching, sputtered, thousand, kerosene, shuddering etc ,.... Don't shy away from big vocabulary. The cadence of this text still makes the story interesting enough where my 3 yr old granddaughter requested and encore'. At later times, ( not *during* the story ) , you can look through the book together and explain some of the difficult words. Teachers know this is a good way to increase vocabulary without boring drills.
The book has good predictable text due to the rhyming which is another tool that makes it score high on literary value for your youngster.
Illustrations are fantastic !
I bought this book used, and I couldn't be happier than if I went into a bookstore and hand selected brand new. It's in perfect condition.
Can't say enough about this book ( glad you asked :>)
I suggest ages 3-6.
