Snakes on a Train

Snakes on the Job

Review: My toddler loved Snakes in Space. I only had to read it through one time before she wanted to make the “ssss” hissing noises by herself. It is a great way to engage emerging readers. She asked me to read the series again and again. Bright, simple colors and repetitive phrases from the snakes made the book entertaining. Great book for young ones readingin your lap!

Summary from Goodreads: On the first day of school, Artie falls out of his bed and hits his head. Hard. He tells his mom he’s dizzy and she says:“You’re just worried about your first day in a new school.”At breakfast, his little brother, Eddie, splashes syrup in his hair, and there’s no time to wash it. Artie has to go to school with syrup-hair. And then, on the way there, he gets splashed by a puddle that makes him look like he wet his pants. It’s not just the first day of school; it’s the worst day of school.On the second day of school, Artie falls out of bed and hits his head. Hard. He tells his mom he’s dizzy and she says:“You’re just worried about your first day in a new school.”Huh? Today is just like the day before. Can Artie find a way to change it, before it’s the first day of school…forever?

I have watched R.L. Stines Goosebumps books fly of my classroom shelves for years so I was excited to see a different book by R.L. Stine. In the beginning of the book I think many children can relate to Artie’s stress of the first day of school, especially a new school.

As the story went on, I found myself unable to put the book down, curious as to how poor Artie would ever get out of repeating the first day of school over and over!

This book is appropriate for middle elementary aged children, 4th-6th grade. There were some scary parts, it is by R.L. Stine after all, but nothing that goes to far.
