Overview

In this beautifully illustrated book for children and adults alike, Mr. Arizona Black Rattlesnake tells a series of 'pert near true' stories about his fellow wild creatures who inhabit an Arizona National Forest.

With the national forest as a backdrop, one of its important creatures, the Arizona Black Rattlesnake narrates many short stories about the surprising and creative interaction between wild animals who call this place home and humans who are only visitors. This humorous, action-packed, and wonderfully informative, this science and nature book brings adventure to young readers. Captivatingly illustrated by a fisheries biologist, discover what happens when a skunk meets Mom in the shed and when the mountain lion lands on the family car.

A full compilation of detailed animal descriptions, taxonomy charts, suggested resources for further exploration, plus questions and projects to expand the learning makes this book valuable for classroom, library, and homeschool. It teaches respect for all life and that all creatures have a place in the tapestry of life. A great stepping-off point for discussion about how we treat the world around us.

Find out what happens, from the Rattler's point of view when wild animals encounter humans.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"This delightful book turns tail on the human-centric view of the universe most of us unwittingly subscribe to. Narrated by a black rattlesnake and captivatingly illustrated by a fisheries biologist, A RATTLER'S TALE logs a year's worth of interactions between a human family and the Arizona wildlife that inhabit the environs of their mountain cabin. By good (and occasionally bad) example, the book teaches respect for all life and that all creatures have a place in the colorful tapestry of creation."

Cindy Yurth, President of the Black Hat Humane Society

A Rattler's Tale is a wonderful set of short animal/human encounters that bring awareness of how we are so connected to our habitat and the animals that live in it, just out of sight (for the most part). A great read for adults and children alike and a stepping off point to start important conversations about how we treat the world around us. The rattler's narrative is informative, yet personal, and brings the reader into the viewpoint of an often-feared species."

Kay Bordwell, Grand Canyon Sierra Club Group Executive Committee for wildlife

"This is a wonderful book about humans' relationship with nature, enhanced by delightful illustrations. As the coordinator for 20 years of the read aloud literacy programs, BookPALS and Sunshine Readers, I would endorse this book as a great read aloud for 3rd through 6th graders or even older. Each chapter can stand alone, but the quirky animal characters and especially the snake narrator who ties the whole thing together, will have the kids begging for "just one more chapter." There are excellent follow-up questions and projects at the end of the book so students can continue their investigation into the wonders of the natural world and their relation to it. It is time we ALL learned to appreciate and respect each other. A RATTLER'S TALE emphatically sends that message.
