AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH  

Adorable snakes get on a train.  The train goes through tunnels and around on the track.  At one point the train must stop for a problem on the tracks (a pig laying on the track).  Eventually the train ride ends and the snakes go home so they can burrow in their dens and everyone goes to sleep for the night.   

The illustrations are really what makes this book fun. The snakes are bright primary colored snakes who have big eyes.  The text includes the hiss that both the snakes and the sound of the train make. For kids who like trains and/or snakes this will draw their attention.  Adorable.
