Synopsis
It's love at first sight when the visiting zoo man asks who at school wants to hold a snake. "Me," Ali says right off--and wears the snake all day. Later Ali buys all the snakes she can at the pet store and wears them all home. For children fascinated by snakes, this is an experience to relish. For those afraid, it is a reassurance. Full color.
