    Rattlesnakes and storyteller Joe Hayes must have a thing for each other. Joe’s teamed up again with Antonio Castro to tell us how one day he saved a rattlesnake’s life.

      A story done describing what a person does with their pet snake. Taking it out for a walk, playing and domesticated animal. The story is written as a true story first person narrative. The twist is when the author reveals it is a fictional story. Great artwork and story to help teach fiction vs nonfiction, predictable book, and what are pets that exist in homes.
