Rattlesnake Dance

Book Review:

Using vibrant pictures and telling a fairy-tale with a tune behind it, Jim Arnosky tells a wonderful story about a rattlesnake. It slithers into a cave and shakes and wriggles in a rattlesnake dance of pure bliss, while other hissing snakes join the underground ball. The book Rattlesnake Dance is set in the American Southwest. The author-illustrator, Jim Arnosky, does a phenomenal job of capturing the magic of the land. He incorporates an actual tune to go along with the story to involve the children even more. The illustrations are painted in watercolor and each picture shows a different part to the dance. Children can practice and incorporate the dance in the classroom. This story can be appreciated by all. Recommended for ages 4-8.
