Little Britches and the Rattlers

Reviews / Votes

"This will make for a swell read-aloud, highlighted by the repeated threat 'Little Britchch-ches, we're gonna s-s-swaller you up!' complemented by the glib silliness in Nguyen's artwork as the snakes try to fill out the little girl's clothing." -Booklist

"The colorful snakes look wily and ridiculous when dressed in her duds. A fun read-aloud." -School Library Journal

"As Little Britches saddles her pony and heads out to a calf-roping content, she decides to take a shortcut through the dry gulch. When her journey is interrupted several times by rattlesnakes who threaten to 's-s-swaller' her up, the quick-thinking, pint-sized cowgirl offers up her doeskin vest, chaps, red boots, and other attire in exchange for permission to mosey along...it's a rattling fun tale." -Kirkus Reviews
