Hayes, Joe

The Gum Chewing Rattler

32 pp. | Cinco | December, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-938317-99-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Antonio Castro L.. Joe is a serious gum chewer. His teacher and his mother are disgusted by his habit. It saves his life, however, when he steps on a rattlesnake who, in lunging, lands himself a mouthful of the chewing gum Joe has in his pocket. This tall tale takes a little too long to get going, and the dynamic illustrations may upset ophidiophobes.
