This book was loaded with great things about a water snake, however I didn't appreciate the discussion of how the "boy" snakes "like" her and later how she gives birth to them. I understand that to some those are important things to know about how a snake takes care of young, or doesn't in this case, but the way that they tell in detail was what I could skip. Which I did. So beware that there are those parts of this book that you might not want to tell to your little one(s).
