Rattlesnake Jam is a rhyming romp, with crazy old Gran and Pa arguing over how to cook up the rattlers he catches. Gran wants to boil and bottle them into her cure-all Rattlesnake Jam, but Pa longs for a rattlesnake pie.

Rattlesnake Jam is recommended for boys and reluctant readers. Read to pre schoolers. For all kids in grade school.

REVIEW

Rattlesnake Jam is a hilariously funny children's picture book about an old couple who share an irresistible affection for rattlesnakes. There's only one problem: While Pa would rather have the rattlesnakes turned into fritters or pie, old Gran prefers them turned into jam... disgustingly green, sweetened, gooey rattlesnake jam! ... Rattlesnake Jam is one of those books young children will beg their parents to read to them again and again.
